"It's a setup that's not meant to evoke a special feeling. But that's exactly what it does. It takes a tedious and technical sport like chess and it humanizes it to the point where a calculated game of probability turns into a game of chance and fate. It's rare to see such transcendence in a film. And that's exactly why this should be watched and cherished by every movie buff out there."
