Amazon.ca Steve Zaillian, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Schindler's List,
made his directorial debut with this critically acclaimed but little-seen
drama based on the nonfiction book by Fred Waitzkin, about a father (Joe
Mantegna) who discovers that his seven-year-old son (Max Pomeranc) is a genius
at playing chess. The boy plays chess for fun, but when he's tutored by a
former champion (Ben Kingsley) and entered into high-pressure competitions, an
enjoyable pastime becomes a source of tension and resentment, forcing the
father to reconsider his parental priorities. A poignant study of the
difference between parental idealism and proper parenting, the movie is also
an observantly witty portrait of a precocious child who is still, after all, a
child, and still eager for the joyful discoveries of youth. While offering a
fascinating look into the world of competitive chess, the movie's dramatically
engrossing and extremely well-acted by a brilliant cast that also includes
David Paymer, William H. Macy, and Dan Hedaya in memorable supporting roles.
