'The Little Drummer Girl' blurs the line between what is real and what isn't

Director Park Chan-wook has retained the non-declarative tone from the source material in the narrative which has helped in adding to the suspenseful nature of the show

'The Little Drummer Girl', starring Florence Pugh (as Charlie), Alexander Skarsgard (as Becker), and Michael Shannon (as Marty Kurtz), has been dividing audience due to its dubious nature of shifting between a spy espionage and a coming-of-age love story.

Even while reviewing John Le Carre's 1983 titular novel, William F. Buckley writes in his article for the New York Times, there are times when the book demands the reader's entire attention because, "Sometimes, Mr le Carré is drawn, annoyingly, to the nondeclarative narrative".
