A down-to-earth inspiring story, giving insight into different culture.
A Ugandan girl learns chess and escapes the slums because of it. An inspirational story that I put on for the kids, but also enjoyed.
An a inspiring story, great actors. Especially the children.
A lesser known story of a brilliant mind. Yes, its disney. No, there are no princesses. Yes, go watch it.
This is by far my favourite movie. It really shows how beautiful a mother’s love can be.
Beauty and grace through struggle without a single “tragic drug-ladled genius” trope to be found
Very nice movie to watch with family on a sunday evening
A feel-good movie with a lot of originality. It’s not a corny sports movie or a tear-fueled family story; it’s something altogether new.
This was a very good family movie. Very inspirational
Such an underrated movie. Brilliantly acted. Lupita is a goddess.
