Rating: 2/5 --
There's scant input from chess experts to explain why he's so good, what's unique about his gamesmanship and the like, and the film has nothing interesting to say about chess in general in the modern age.

The loneliness of the long-distance chess grandmaster is affectingly conveyed in MAGNUS, an intimate portrait of the game’s reigning champ, 25-year-old Magnus Carlsen.

Rating: 3/5 --
Mirrors the self-effacing nature and bashful smile of its timid, attention-averse subject.

Inspirational docu on "The Mozart of Chess"; some bullying.

Rating: 3/5 --
Ree convinces us that Magnus is indeed a prodigy but, even so, his rise to the top surely can't have been quite as straightforward as the film suggests.

The portrait we gather from Magnus is of a young man who does what he does not because he enjoys it but because he is good at it.

Screen Comment
Product Description:
Norwegian documentary filmmaker Benjamin Ree profiles Magnus Carlsen, tracing his journey from a bullied, introverted 13-year-old boy to a World Chess Champion. The use of home movies and archival footage reveals a unique coming-of-age story combined with a narrative about a boy determined to succeed in his chosen field.
