Not that I can remember right off hand but there are some directed by women.

Nice to see Bryony Hannah in it. I texted my daughter who is a fan of hers, even though the part was small.
And I have sent MANY English and other languages World War 2 films and there are many far better.
It's not Steve McQueen best work. I have seen a few of his films, with Hunger being my favorite. And this is no where compared to the intensity of Hunger.

It kind of reminds me of another film.
It felt kind of generic and basic to me. I expected it to be better.
