This may be the best chess movie i have watched, and i watch any I can find.
--The original title to this movie is Joueuse, the feminine form of "player", which say a lot about the movie
--I think Joueuse and 'Queen to play' says it all, it has wheels within wheels regarding a woman's traditional role VS wanting more out of life without losing those things you originally love
--The makers of this movie also manage to incorporate the primary attributes a great chess player has in their character, and they do this in such a way that blends them seamlessly into the movie.
I know there are some chess movies that are 'based on true events', but if a viewer does the research, they will find that the actual facts are so far removed from the actual story, that it may as well be fiction
I found this movie to have multiple layers to it - like real life
