Ratings and reviews

You don't have to play chess to enjoy this well made story about where a child's motivation must come from. If you do play chess even better! Also read the book. Look for actual characters and chess notables intermixed with the star studded cast.

A gripping tale about a child chess prodigy, who's Father pushes too hard for his kid too succeed, & the people they surround him with. A tale to learn not too push your child too far, even if their the best in the world at something, they still need to be a kid first!

The actors and the story make for one of the best movies to ever be made, a classic that you can watch again and again. I haven't seen it in about 10 years and still loved it when I finally found it to watch again 😍
