⏳🇩🇪 Six Minutes to Midnight (2020): Before the war began, the silence already screamed.

"Sometimes, the most dangerous enemy wears a school uniform."

Six Minutes to Midnight is a slow-burning wartime thriller drawn from a forgotten fragment of British history — a quiet cliffside town, a finishing school for elite German girls, and the looming shadow of World War II just moments away.

Set in August 1939, mere days before Hitler invades Poland, the film follows Thomas Miller (Eddie Izzard), a mild-mannered English teacher hired to replace a mysteriously vanished colleague at the Augusta-Victoria College — a real-life girls’ school in Bexhill-on-Sea that educated daughters of high-ranking Nazis.

What begins as a suspiciously serene assignment soon spirals into suspicion and sabotage. Miller discovers that behind the crisp uniforms and polite curtsies, there lies a maze of espionage, coded messages, and dangerous loyalties. But when he’s framed for murder, the hunted becomes the hunter — racing against time to uncover a conspiracy that could shift the balance of war before a single bomb is dropped.

As the clock ticks toward catastrophe, Six Minutes to Midnight becomes more than a spy game. It’s a taut, atmospheric portrait of innocence corrupted, truth silenced, and the moments just before history turns violent.

Anchored by strong performances from Judi Dench, Carla Juri, and James D’Arcy, the film weaves tension not from gunfire — but from the dread of what everyone knows is coming.
