Review of Charlotte Gray (2001) by Andrew I — 19 Jun 2012
Kind of like a soppy version of Zwartboek 'Lite' that most mums would quite enjoy on a Sunday afternoon. Although Cate Blanchett does a very decent job of not sounding Australian and France looks very French throughout, the fact that this film is completely in English, yet set mostly in France 'wiz ze Frenchie acsonts' means it all comes across as a little too Allo Allo to be taken seriously.
The plot is fairly predictable, the tension and action somewhat lacking, considering it's a WW2 film. You probably won't fall asleep through it, but Where Eagles Dare this ain't. Comme çi, comme ça - 6.
5/10.
