Cath Clarke Guardian It would be more or less forgettable but for an intense, seductive lead performance by Morgane Polanski, letting rip with her character’s tortured dark side. Rated: 3/5 Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film If you’re already familiar with Krystyna’s story, you’re likely to find the film satisfying enough, if a little weak in places; but if you’re not, you’re really going to struggle to keep track. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Writer-director James Marquand struggles to tell the story in a way that connects with the audience. It doesn't help that the obtuse dialog is delivered in accented and often whispery English. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies The story feels haphazardly assembled, and the characters remain ciphers throughout. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 3, 2025 Full Review John Kirk Original Cin The exploits of this heroic agent seem the wrong ones chosen, such that this incredible character is wasted in her own story. It makes one wonder if this is an edited version that's missing critical information. We don’t even see Malcolm McDowell much. Rated: C Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Les N Weak is a good description by the critic. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Michael F Morgane Polanski plays fantastic - last time I adored her in the Vikings. Polish actors are great. Malcolm McDowell is brilliant. This film has everything - shooting, spying, exploding. If you liked James Bond then you'll love The Partisan. Also - I never heard of Krystyna Skarbek. This movie made me research her. Wow. Just google. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Stephen C Based on a true story in 1 hour and 46 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
