      Audience Member It's very well made and compelling, especially if you are interested in Bobby Fischer. I can't give it a high general recommendation because it's pretty clear Fischer was insane, or at least wound up that way. So it's not easy to watch. Well done, though, and clearly on a limited budget, so kudos to the filmmakers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a straight cradle-to-grave narrative, but more of a collection of vignettes, tied together by the story of an author assigned to write a biography. It's rather uneven - some portions seem amateurish, some portions much more compelling. Apparently it's not as historically accurate as it could be, but then, one expects that of biopics. Still, some work better as movie than this. But it was, at least, interesting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
