Leave your thoughts about Quezon's Game.
| Film ThreatChris SalceQuezon’s Game adds something that is missed in war films as well as history books. |
| Original-CinLinda BarnardThe film improves in the dramatic final reel, as Quezon struggles to complete his task while facing the heartbreaking task of cutting the refugee list after pushback on visas, refugee quota increases and exit permits. |
| The GuardianCath ClarkeThe story is a real-life political chess game with the makings of a gripping race-against-the-clock thriller; but here it drags out into sluggish, dull and unconvincing melodrama. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckUnfortunately, the poor production values, ham-fisted screenplay and uneven performances prevent it from achieving the desired dramatic impact. |
| The New York TimesDevika GirishUnfortunately, in Matthew Rosen’s fictionalized take, Quezon’s Game, this story of intrigue turns stiff and sentimental. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinUnfortunately, much of the acting (save by Bagatsing and Rachel Alejandro as Quezon’s vigilant wife, Aurora) is so spotty that it undermines the story’s potential tension and emotional heft. |
