Grandmasters
Directed by Liza Mandelup
The once esoteric and uninspired world of competitive chess is thrown into turmoil when an eccentric German entrepreneur enlists reigning champion Magnus Carlsen to launch a new league that aims to revolutionize the game, challenge the sport's governing body, and "make chess cool." From TMDB

7 of 7 · most liked firstI saw Grandmasters in its limited run in movie theaters last night. It was not what I expected and frankly I wonder if it’s what the filmmakers expected when they set out on this project.
unlabelledView post →The movie is called Grandmasters and I was expecting a little more of like, Fabi and Hikaru. I wonder if they started out making a doc about Wesley and then priorities changed. Anyway, 2/5 stars, I don’t totally regret going, now I can say I saw a chess documentary in a movie theater.
unlabelledView post →I rewatched The 7 Grandmasters and this movie is absolutely stunning. Every second of choreography is immaculate. This fight between Corey Yuen and Jack Long is told so perfectly, with Jack Long confiscating every weapon that Corey Yuen brings out. #kungfumovies
