Review of Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) by Kenneth Turan for Los Angeles Times — 26 Jun 2013
Writer-director Steven Zaillian proves as much of a prodigy as his chess-playing subject, turning out a film that is a beautifully calibrated model of honestly sentimental filmmaking, made with delicacy, restraint and unmistakable emotional power.
The feelings it goes for are almost never the easy or obvious ones, and the levers it presses are all the more effective because of that.
