Six Minutes To Midnight (12A)
Directed by Andy Goddard
★★★
EDDIE IZZARD’S new mystery thriller explores the fascinating, little-known history of a Sussex finishing school for girls which was used to educate the daughters and god-daughters of the Nazi high command in the 1930s.
The Augusta Victoria College for girls in Bexhill-on-Sea is the backdrop for this Hitchcockian tale, set 17 days before the beginning of World War II, in which Izzard plays a British intelligence agent who infiltrates the school following the mysterious disappearance of an English teacher.
