Steineded How sad is this?

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

jerbar2004 This film is all pleasure. The story is well told and has good casting with many famous British actors. I enjoyed this film many years ago and the latest DVD release with Virgina McKenna and John Shirley giving a commentary adds a lot of viewing pleasure. There is comedy, tragedy and a whole host of facts presented in this film of the womens SOE during war time. The public at the time of the film release must have been very interested in SOE and now at this time there is a renewed interest. Virginia McKenn got a BAFTA nomination for Best British Actress in 1959, and this was well deserved. The music is also an important part of the film and is composed by William Alwyn and Alec Wilder.

TheLittleSongbird When I first saw Carve Her Name with Pride recently, I have to say I was really moved. This film is truly remarkable, I do agree one of two of the characters are somewhat clichéd, but on the whole there is very little wrong I can say about Carve Her Name with Pride.The film is beautifully shot, with stunning cinematography effortlessly capturing the scenery. The score is also highly effective, while the script is honest and truthful, with some humorous and romantic spots, and the story, which is based on truth, is a remarkable one. The direction is excellent, the film does move at a reasonable pace and the ending had me deeply moved. And I have to say the acting is really good, Virginia McKenna especially is outstanding in the lead role, while Jack Warner and Paul Scofield are both excellent.All in all, it is a great film, underrated and somewhat affecting. See especially for McKenna. 9/10 Bethany Cox

writers_reign I'm not terribly enamoured of British war films. For every one The Way To The Stars or In Which We Serve there are eight or nine Ill Met By Moonlights or The Sea Shall Not Have Thems but Carve Her Name With Pride is certainly fit to be mentioned in the same breath as In Which We Serve and The Way To The Stars even if not eclipsing them. The essentially true story of an ordinary young girl 'doing her bit' for her country is, on paper, the kind of story beloved of satirists, easy to 'send up' in the manner of Round The Horne yet time and again from the first reel onwards I found myself moved to tears by the very ordinariness on display to say nothing of a decency that has become a joke to both parents and children today. Although Virginia McKenna has to carry the film - and does so effortlessly - it is a film where everyone turns in spot-on performances, not a prima donna amongst the entire cast and as an ensemble effort it is a triumph.

April Glaspie British Director Lewis Gilbert is unknown to most Americans. This is a pity because he has directed a number of "crossover" masterpieces and this true story of wartime heroism is but one of them. The movie reminds me somewhat of The Man Who Never Was, a spy movie which required a woman who had been through a recent tragedy, marvelously played by Gloria Grahame, to use that tragedy to make herself a believable spy. Although she has excellent support by a young Paul Scofield and a non-too-shabby veteran cast, Virginia McKenna must pull off the central character, Violetta Szabo, in order for the film to succeed. She does so without question,and then some. If this movie does not bring tears to your eyes, no movie will.
