Queen of Katwe - Queen of Katwe review by JR

Spoiler Alert
12/09/2022

This film was engaging from the first moment. The colours of the amazing African costumes and the matter-of-fact depiction of street life formed an interesting contrast revealing the quest for dignity as well as survival. The story of the young and gifted chess player is a true one and the cast appears with the people who they represent at the end of the film. The chess scenes are fast moving and may not resonate with chess players but the tension, class snobbery and emotional turmoil is well portrayed. A feel-good film.
