Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen For a person that doesn't know much about chess and only knows some of the names and some of the basics about chess this is actually quite an interesting documentary and story.Bobby Fischer is in many ways a very odd person, very intellectual and kind of obsessed with chess and I don't know what it is, if he is giving a damn about how people and the press sees him or doesn't give a damn about it. But the fact is that he is very focused and into the game and that makes all the attention of a high profiled game between him (representing USA) and Spassky (representing Russia) too much for hi in many ways.It was an interesting and for most parts very factional based documentary about Bobby Fisher also for one like me that doesn't know much about chess.

esotobosch It is not easy to make a documentary about a peculiar man and not fall into stereotypes. There are two distinct parts: the prodigy child who comes to dominate the world, and its subsequent decline. In both, the direction is neutral, without making strong praises or exposing the darker side of Bobby. Just trying to do a portrait of a man from a distance, knowing that it is impossible to get too close. That is its main virtue. If they wanted to get closer to Fisher would have failed and we would have an hour and a half film full of details, but without an overview. The boy, his path to the top of the mountain and its subsequent decline. It's just the story of a man, and respecting that is exciting.

mitcherator777 Since this was meant to be a documentary about the life of Bobby Fischer I thought it was pretty interesting. I was introduced into the world of chess as a boy myself and haven't had a lot of time to improve my game being in college. I read Fischer's book on chess and learned how to play pretty well and beat some people that claimed they were good.The life of Bobby Fischer is nonetheless interesting yet sad because of the publicity he received in his life, in a way the thing he most cherished destroyed him, because once he reached the peak of his career, winning the world title, there wasn't really a peak above that. I thought it was pretty good though I'd recommend this movie to someone interested in chess at all will know the name Fischer.

asc85 I was 11 years old in 1972, and I remember the whole Bobby Fischer/Boris Spassky thing. I was also aware of what happened to Fischer in his later years. So I'm familiar with the story, but by now means an expert. The film got mostly good reviews, so I was very interested in seeing this, and learning more about Fischer. However, there was hardly anything new in this documentary that I didn't already know about (and remember, I'm by no means a Fischer expert), and close to an hour of this film revolved around the Fischer/Spassky match. If you know nothing about Bobby Fischer, this is a good movie, but if you know nothing about Bobby Fischer, why would you see this movie in the first place? I see that this film won an award for Best Documentary at the Newport Beach Film Festival. I knew nothing about this festival, but the fact that a film like this could win ANY type of award does not make me think that the Newport Beach Film Festival will soon be rivaling Sundance or Cannes.
