Movie Reviews

Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) - 10/10 by Linda CookWhy are you fooling around on your laptop when you could be watching this beautiful movie?
Herald Sun (Australia) - 9/10 by Leigh PaatschIt is hard to think of a film in 2016 that has not been better cast from the first lead actors right down to the last extras.
Hindustan Times - 9/10 by Rohan NaaharThis movie is as much a romantic homage to the melodramas of the past as it is a radical, path-breaking piece of modern filmmaking. It is one of the best films of the year.
MLive.com - 9/10 by John SerbaNair (emphasizes) authenticity in both performance and setting. She plants the seed early on, and never fails to fertilize that soil.
The Seattle Times - 9/10 by Moira MacdonaldJust try to resist the charms of Mira Nair’s Queen of Katwe, a triumph-of-the-human-spirit movie that’s ultimately, well, triumphant.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsNair's film, her best in a long time, is hardly the first to use a chessboard as a symbol of one life's struggles. It is, however, one of the best.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Claudia PuigThis humanistic tale, helmed by a masterful filmmaker, offers a potent — and yes, inspirational — story of triumph against huge odds.
The New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottIn Ms. Nair’s hands, Phiona’s story has a richness and unpredictability that separates it from other, superficially similar movies. It also has the buoyant, cleareyed feel for the particulars of culture and place that is among this director’s great gifts.
Bowling Green Daily News - 9/10 by Micheal ComptonWhile some might consider chess a bit of a stretch when it comes to being a sport, the film's infectious charm can't be denied.
Pay Or Wait - 9/10 by Sharronda WilliamsThis is an inspirational film about perseverance.
