“The Queen’s Gambit”: Film Review Podcast
Posted: November 10th, 2020 | Filed under: Cinema, Film Reviews Podcast | 1 Comment »
Think about this for a second.
A really compelling 7 part series about . . . a chess prodigy.
Who is an orphan.
Who becomes addicted to drugs, then alcohol.
All the while working her way up in the world of chess to become a grandmaster.
Credit to Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays Beth Harmon as a teen and young adult. The character is flawed, yet charismatic. And brilliantly portrayed by Ms. Taylor-Joy, who holds this whole well-crafted series together.
You can find it on Netflix.
