The Queen's Gambit Ratings & Reviews
- Vincent ReggianniniMay 25, 2025Hard to believe any writer could make chess exciting and enticing to watch, but add Anna Taylor Joy to the mix with a fascinating storyline and you have the Queen’s Gambit”. It’s chess lived at the edge, propelling a genius female player head-first into a male dominated “sport” with amusing results, and fascinating relationships. It’s tense, it’s romantic and it’s also heartbreaking as lives are thrust into the spotlight and either flourishing or succumbing to the pressure that exists at the peak of talent.
