Critic Reviews:
- " The fields of math, music, chess, and acting all produce child prodigies. Luckily for us, lead child actor Max Pomeranc can check two prodigy boxes. " – Mark Jackson (Epoch Times)
- " Searching for Bobby Fischer is a wonderfully engaging film about a young chess prodigy. " – Brian D. Johnson (Maclean's MaÂgazine)
- " The story he is telling–about parenting, teachers and students, and the nature of competition–is a rich one, and Zaillian tells it with warmth, humor and zest. The cast is first-rate. " – David Ansen (Newsweek)
