Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I laughed out loud throughout the movie. This movie makes several good points in a mostly lighthearted delivery, which was believable and relatable as a parent and as someone who likes to ask questions. The characters were likeable and not overdone. There were a couple of points where the movie felt a little slow, but overall kept a good pace.

Love this movie. The little boy is so good and the story has so much to say about how the adults act and that a child is smart enough to perceive our unkindness and how it effects a Childs take on themselves. It shows us the awfulness of us to treat each other and how our greed will smudge the life of a child and how easy it is for us to change when faced with that possibility. The music is wonderful. I want the soundtrack. Tried to find it on Amazon but it is not available.

On the surface this looks like a good movie for the kids, which maybe it can be. I guess it's a comedy, but it's a little sad and disturbing also, for although the focus of this film is on a boy genius for the most part, the adults play a large part, mostly as greedy and selfish characters, which gives off a different angle and mood. Even Jeremias's own family come across as users as they force the kid into chess tournaments with cash prizes in order to get quick money. The acting in this film is pretty decent, and it is touching how Jeremias develops a friendship with the old guy who runs the bookshop. The pace and plot of the film are good, and the subtitles are easy to read. Overall, this is a good movie for kids, as well as adults.
