Londen, 1942. Wanneer de geliefde, een RAF-piloot, van een jonge Schotse vrouw tijdens een gevecht neergeschoten wordt besluit ze deel te nemen aan een geheime missie van het Franse verzet mee te doen om zo iets voor haar land en de man van wie ze houdt te kunnen betekenen.

Recensie (2)
The cinematography, costumes and general historical depiction of the setting and period are all very nice. But until the last quarter, the plot is lifeless and the film is too restrained and bland along the lines of a television movie. Not even Cate Blanchett stands out in this film; it’s as if she’s following the director’s instructions that “sometimes less is more”. If not for the dramatization at the end, Charlotte Gray would have left me as cold as reading an uninteresting book.

Despite the excellent camera work, it is quite an average affair, mainly due to the script, which takes the somewhat cumbersome subject matter too seriously, thus undermining the tension. However, the characters ultimately find their way into the viewer's heart, and thanks to the captivating performance by Cate and the excellent Gambon, boredom is not a concern.
