This is a feel-good film about the true story of Phiona
Mutesi from Uganda who becomes a Chess Master and competes with the best of the
world. Directed by Mira Nair and staring
Lupita Nyong’o as Phiona’s mother and David Oyelowo as her coach. It follows the typical format these kind of
autobiographical sports films do but what makes this one stand out is how
connected you become to the characters.
I really fell in love with everyone in this movie and emotionally went
through every up and down they go through.
It’s a highly enjoyable film.
Grade: A-
