tiago m @RT31388926 Nov 18 É um filme muito bom. Ele cumpre muito bem o seu propósito. See more Jonathan K @aFIREintheattic Aug 10 A solid, heartwarming, moving true story with good performances -- which I’m always here for. But the production and photography had some real made-for-TV energy. My favorite part might have been at the end when the real people stood next to the actors playing them; it was a cool human touch.

This true story about the chess master Phiona Nutesi from Uganda was dramatic, inspirational, and incredible. It's about finding what you're good at and never giving up on it no matter what. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a great movie for an entire family.

A true life sports film (if we count chess as a sport) that hits all the beats of the typical sports film whilst pulling off the neat trick of being accessible to all ages but not soft-selling the realities of poverty pf the complex issues of what it means to seek to move upward on society in such circumstances. It's never not fun, and though the two central actors take most attention, the real prizes should go to the largely untested local cast who embody and exude their roles beautifully. It's a genuine, kind-spirited film that deserves wider attention.

It felt like a somewhat important piece of social history I suppose. Its not an especially memorable film or one that will likely excite or wow you but its interesting generally and, perhaps more to the point, its based on a true story. Its a film suitable for family viewing for the most part, with just one scene featuring a character calling out in pain but nothing graphic is shown. It is a little corny but still I would recommend this film as a Sunday evening sort of a film.
