Movie Reviews

The Playlist - 9/10 by Katie WalshAlgorithms is a completely unique film, unlike any other documentary you might see this year, both for its content and its form.
Guardian - 8/10 by Henry BarnesShot - a little obviously - in black and white, Ian McDonald's film is otherwise a winning documentary that develops into a story as intense and focused as his subjects.
New York Times - 7/10 by Ben KenigsbergThe movie is an object lesson in how a remarkable subject can be turned into a less remarkable film.
Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Jordan RiefeVisually arresting as it is, the pic stands out mainly for its subject matter, the first documentary on blind chess, even though it fits snugly within the sub-genre of underdog stories.
Times (UK) - 6/10 by Wendy IdeShot in black and white, and featuring lots of close-ups of fingers reading the chess pieces like braille, the film echoes the meditative pacing of the game.
