Bill Edelstein Variety Sep 25, 2015
Carmen Marron's underdog tale of a Hispanic chess team makes too many predictable moves. Go to Full Review
Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times Sep 25, 2015
The otherwise congenial film plays itself to a draw because of flat characters and a script that overdoes the melodrama in the service of checking off a series of genre tropes borrowed from sports movies. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
