February 24, 2006This beautifully written masterpiece of a child prodigy in the game of life (and chess) is bound to touch the hearts of many, especially with the legend of Fischer trailing behind it.

August 14, 2009Not a terrible film, but I found it hard to watch because I hate the notion of "stage kids" - kids whose parents drive them in one direction where they have talent in order to do "what's best for them". Those with a stronger disposition ought to like it.
