Pawn Sacrifice Ratings & Reviews
- MoxiechanJanuary 5, 2026Way better than the Queen's Gambit. I've never seen the Queen's Gambit. Don't plan on it either
- Francis McgillicuddyDecember 29, 2025Solid biopic. I dug it as I'm a chess player but for normies they prolly won't dig it.
- George SelakDecember 22, 2025Absolutely Oscar worthy 💯
- Sebastian WeedenJune 25, 2025I loved this movie, I am a very big fan of chess and Booby Fischer. I just wish they showed more of the games and maybe explained some concepts to go more into depth on Fischer's supreme intelligence.
- Bishop DMay 26, 2025Great movie one of Toby’s best films, tragic story that works so well for a film.
