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.

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

Cohn is a wonderful example of an ordinary person who found herself capable of doing extraordinary things.

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.

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.
