Pawn Sacrifice

Great movie about chess

Whoever cast Tobey in this nailed it because he plays an amazing buggy eyed paranoid dude. The movie was shot and acted very well but at the end of the day it’s a chess movie… not much more

I have just recently watched Marty Supreme, which I felt was similar in terms of peoples obsession to their craft with an objectively “boring” sport. However, Maguire’s sensational portrayal of a spiralling mental health was a pleasure to watch.

Chess is so cool.

Good performances and they did a good job with establishing how things work in the world of chess
