Director Mira Nair has a proven ability to find beauty in the most desperate of circumstances, and QUEEN OF KATWE is no different. Throughout the film, she makes stunning use of the brightly colored patterns of traditional African clothing... -- Grade: B

Ms. Nalwanga’s watchful, quiet presence conveys both shyness and determination, a habit of humility in tension with an almost superhuman intelligence.

Rating: A- --
The ending slightly fizzles, but director Mira Nair's sure, guiding hand, her excellent cast, and the power of the story itself never fails to inspire.

3 stars out of 4 -- Oyelowo’s work here is subtle but so consistent....Opposite him, Nyong’o is phenomenal.

Mira Nair brings her characteristic fluid flair, vibrant colour and joyous use of music to the dramatisation of the true story of Phiona Mutesi.

Product Description:
This biopic of Ugandan chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga) traces her journey from the Kampala slum of Katwe, where she is forced to abandon her formal schooling at the age of nine, to the upper echelons of the chess world after she develops an interest in the game at a youth-outreach program run by Robert Katende (David Oyelowo). Lupita Nyong'o co-stars as Mutesi's mother, who worries that her daughter's dreams of becoming a chess champion are a frivolous distraction from real life. Produced as a joint venture between Disney and ESPN Films, QUEEN OF KATWE was directed by Mira Nair (MONSOON WEDDING), and was adapted from a nonfiction book by sportswriter Tim Crothers, who became acquainted with Mutesi's story while on assignment for ESPN.
