RED JOAN – Review by Susan Granger

April 17, 2019 Susan Granger 0 Comments biopic, judi dench, melita norwood, red joan, sophie cookson, trevor nunn

Based on the sensational real-life story about elderly widow Melita Norwood, who was arrested for being one of W.W.II’s top spies, this turns out to be a tepid tale that’s totally lacking in suspense.

TIFF18 Review: RED JOAN – Pam Grady

September 25, 2018September 27, 2018 Pam Grady 0 Comments judi dench, melita norwood, red joan, sophie cookson, spy thriller, TIFF

Lacking the tension it might have had had the story been presented as a thriller, Red Joan instead wallows in melodrama. What could have been the crackling story of a spy so good she got away with it for decades dissipates into weak soap opera.
