Critic Reviews of "Queen of Katwe"
Associated PressOctober 24, 2016The colors and rhythms of life in the slums of Uganda are what set Queen of Katwe apart from other underdog chess movies.
The AtlanticOctober 04, 2016In some ways, the film's streaks of realism-not fantasy-are what make it such a genuine pleasure to watch.
San Diego ReaderSeptember 29, 2016Director Mira Nair knows just how to deploy her excellent cast, giving weight to the drama of both Mom and coach without ever forgetting her sweet young queen.
NewsdaySeptember 29, 2016Predictable and very Disneyfied, but Mutesi's remarkable story carries the day.
New York ObserverSeptember 28, 2016The story is true, and the message it delivers-with care and help, the disenfranchised can become role models and inspire others-is unabashedly sentimental, but in a good way.
Rolling StoneSeptember 23, 2016Directed by the great Mira Nair, the film hits you like a shot in the heart. Nyong'o and Oyelowo are both extraordinary, giving newcomer Nalwanga a chance to shine as Phiona grows into her own woman.
Reel Talk OnlineMarch 22, 2017Oyelowo and Nyong'o's performances temper the film with heart-wrenching emotion. And Mira Nair's touching portrait of Katwe's inspiring young queen with a dream is one to remember.
New Zealand HeraldMarch 02, 2017Aimed at tweens and upwards rather than young kids, Queen of Katwe offers something we don't see often; an accessible, enjoyable story delivered in a mature and understated manner.
Stream on DemandFebruary 15, 2017Queen of Katwe is hardly revolutionary but it defies one defining convention of the familiar Disney underdog/culture clash drama: it presents no white savior or mentor to be inspired by the third world / underprivileged characters as he gives them hope.
Shadow and ActJanuary 23, 2017Overall, the film is not without its flaws. However, in the end, you aren't just rooting for Phiona, but also for all of those who have found themselves in similar situations.
Financial TimesDecember 27, 2016For every cliché the film indulges, another is skirted, and another subverted. By the end, every ounce of feelgood is deserved.
Sunday Times (UK)December 17, 2016Even with a clearly signposted ending, it still manages to offer surprises. Nair delights in Uganda, painting a country of many social contrasts and cultures; she embraces possibility, not poverty.
