Twitter Capsule: Colorful, moving drama of WW2 nursing squad, if occasionally sticky and contrived. Impressive bombing sequences.

VOR: ③  Noteworthy as woman-driven wartime cinema that totally sidesteps the homefront and as a gesture at incorporation nonwhite and non-US perspectives—with uneven success, to be sure.
