I went into this thinking "not another chess movie", but it won me over completely. I'm a bit bias, because I love films about Maori culture, but even excluding that, this film shouldn't be written off as just another underdog chess movie. It was the backdrop to this story of family and community. I loved it! Cliff Curtis was great and it was a pleasure seeing James Rolleston all grown up from his role in Boy. I really liked this movie!
