Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Fresh

The film plucks our heartstrings and, despite our awareness of its manipulative formula and inherent melodrama, it nonetheless accomplishes everything the story sets out to do with impressive precision.

Fresh

With great truth-based story in the hands of a brilliant woman director, this film brings women into their rightful place in moviemaking.

College Movie Review

While there's no points for originality, Queen of Katwe still scores a win.

A crowd-pleasing tear-jerker of the highest accord.

Queen of Katwe is still a bright addition to Disney's roster. As audiences and actors demand more complex roles for people of color, let's hope we see more groundbreaking projects like this one.
