Brevet Major Pauline Cushman-Fryer: Civil War Spy is an intriguing blend of historical narrative and performance art. Constance Smith embodies the fierce spirit of Cushman-Fryer with a raw intensity that captures the despair and determination of a woman in wartime. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the gravity of her experiences—from espionage to near execution. The atmosphere is thick with tension, not just from the Civil War backdrop but from her personal struggles, which are depicted without glamor. The practical effects may be minimal, but they serve the story well, enhancing the authenticity. It's a singular look at a lesser-known figure, making it stand out in the war genre, especially for those interested in women's roles in history.
