Queen of Katwe (2016)


Not a lot of people have seen this chess drama, but for our money, it may be the best movie Disney has ever released, and one of the most moving movies we’ve ever seen.

Mira Nair looks unflinchingly at the dangers to a young girl growing up with every imaginable disadvantage in an Ugandan slum. And yet, in a fair contest, she’s an absolute force.

It’s vey much based on a true story — that of Phiona Mutesi — and includes excellent performances by David Oyelowo, Lupita Nyong’o, and Madina Nalwanga.
