Houston Chronicle

It's a little-known bit of history that first-time features director Matthew Rosen...brought to the screen in a straightforward, efficient film that may not win many plaudits for style or acting but has a story that's never less than fascinating.

Rated: 2.5/5

The 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.

Rated: 2/5

San Diego Reader

It may not always qualify as great cinema, but when it comes to presenting a fascinating, emotionally rewarding history lesson, you'll be hanging on every scene.

Rated: 3/5

"Quezon's Game" is both a very important and a very well-directed, shot and acted film and a must see for every fan of historical-political films.

Liquid Marmalade

The film doesn't really pack the emotional punch it should on screen. Instead it goes at a gentler pace and never really manages to capture on the edge of your seat tension.

Quezon's Game is a compelling labor of love, in part because it's a thrilling story, but also because of the leading man.

I loved this movie! It was so interesting to learn about such an important part of history that few people are aware of about WII.

Great story, glad we saw it and will recommend it, despite a poor acting job by the brother who left to go back to USA. We were glad when he left the movie because his acting was a distraction from a good story. One other criticism was all the cigar smoking - what did that really add to the film? A few scenes sure, but it went on throughout the film, to a distraction. Other than that, it was a compelling story that we enjoyed watching and will recommend to friends.
