LOVED THIS MOVIE, I REMEMBER MUCH OF THE STORY FROM CHILDHOOD

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2019)

I really loved this movie - just found it at the library in 2019! Sorry it didn't get more attention - I would have watched it years ago. Very good acting! Loved the music! I've never seen Tobey Maguire in a movie (I never was a Spiderman fan) but he's very good. The movie has its funny moments and its intense points. I never realized all the crazy things that go on in the background of these big competitions. From what I remember about this big chess competition, this movie seems to depict the story accurately. Crazy how politicians get involved! I totally recommend this movie - even if you watch it years after its release (especially since the movie is about the 60's and 70)'s.
