There are quite a few films about chess, therefore, it presents a plowed field for productions, and provides interesting opportunities. In general, the plot of the film is quite simple, there is a mega gifted girl with a difficult childhood, and now she succeeds in almost everything, but she experiences difficulties. So, in general, the plot is unremarkable, but the production is quite good, the film looks organic.

What I don't really like: the absolute strength and power of the main character. She starts her chess career late, but she encounters practically no difficulties, she has no failures, passing tournaments, etc., her defeats are single, and are quickly replaced by a victory. Also due to the lack of realism, we have practically no draws in tournaments, and more than half of the games at this level ended in a draw at that time. And she is also the child of many talents, she is not only a chess genius from birth, she is also a beauty who knows how to deal with people, a bright personality, etc., she succeeds in everything, she manages to do everything, etc.

So in general the film is original, but there is no wow effect.
