A compelling Holocaust/espionage story not given the most dazzling treatment, cinematically.

Movie Nation
The film is most compelling when its subject narrates her own personal history, whether speaking to the camera, talking to audiences or doing voiceovers while an animated figure sometimes acts out a scene.

Just when you think every World War II story has been told, another fascinating one emerges.

Hollywood Reporter
It definitely starts slowly, depending on Cohn's vivacity to keep us engaged. There's a steady climb towards the last 1/2 hour, which becomes as suspenseful as the climax of a war movie.

AWFJ Women on Film
Writer-director Nicola Hens eschews the classic documentary mix of archival footage, interviews with outside observers, dramatic re-enactments and the like to support her narrative - and it tends to work against her.

Product Description:
Ninety-eight-year-old Marthe Cohn recounts the trials and risks she faced during the Second World War. An upstanding citizen in her community, Marthe hid her French-Jewish heritage to avoid capture at the hands of the Nazis. Marthe then served her country as a spy behind enemy lines over the course of the war, a past she kept hidden until her old age. Documentary footage details Marthe's journey around the world to tell her story of bravery and service. Directed by Nicola Hens.
