Review of Queen of Katwe (2016) by Dawdlingpoet — 24 Nov 2021

This is a reasonably interesting story that highlights the racism and prejudice towards lower social classes present within Africa at the time its set, as seen through the eyes of the young children, more specifically Phiona Mutesi.

It felt like a somewhat important piece of social history I suppose. Its not an especially memorable film or one that will likely excite or wow you but its interesting generally and, perhaps more to the point, its based on a true story.

Its a film suitable for family viewing for the most part, with just one scene featuring a character calling out in pain but nothing graphic is shown. It is a little corny but still I would recommend this film as a Sunday evening sort of a film.
