Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The colors and rhythms of life in the slums of Uganda are what set Queen of Katwe apart from other underdog chess movies.

fresh:
In some ways, the film's streaks of realism-not fantasy-are what make it such a genuine pleasure to watch.

fresh:
Director 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.

fresh:
Predictable and very Disneyfied, but Mutesi's remarkable story carries the day.
– Rafer Guzman,

fresh:
The 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.
