Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì
Red Joan—interesting but not the best of stories—tells a fictional account of a
woman found guilty of espionage in passing atomic bomb development secrets to Russia
post WW II. Judi Dench once again shows her outstanding acting abilities in the
scenes in which she appears. The story is a rough watch that revolves around
her romantic involvements more than her educational accomplishments. It seems
rather demeaning for educated females as it demotes the female mind to romance
rather than real academic accomplishment.
