The presentation of the story and the casting have to be said to be great. As for some film friends mentioned that the depth of history is not well presented, I personally feel that the director is waiting for someone who can resonate. Some feelings are easily captured by people who have had similar experiences or are familiar with that period of history. The emotions of the film are restrained and understood by oneself, so there is no need to express them too passionately. Just like the reporter who asked the last question, the reporter who frowned and was silent, the investigator standing behind him, and the son hand in hand, a variety of emotions are displayed on a plane, which is very rich. Those who understand but also have their own job responsibilities, and those who support understanding.

Red Joan quotes

  • Sonya: Nobody would suspect us. We're women.

  • Joan: [Reading a statement to the reporters outside her house]

    Joan: I have been accused of passing information to the Russians in the 1940s, information which accelerated their ability to build an atomic bomb. And I have been accused of deceiving my colleagues and my family. This I don't deny. But I have also been accused of deceiving my country.

    Joan: [Looks up from her notes and straight at the reporters and into their cameras]

    Joan: I'm not a spy. I don't believe in working against one's country. I wanted the Russians to be on an equal footing with the West. I'm not a traitor. I... wanted everyone to share the same knowledge because...

    Reporter: How much did the Russians pay you?

    Joan: Because only that way could the horror of another war be averted. And I think if you look back at history, you'll see I was right.
