Pawn Sacrifice

It was a fine movie it felt a little lackluster and without enough substance. It kinda felt too meandering and the side cast was boring and felt more like they were extensions of Bobby's own character and ways to progress his character then characters in themselves. Bobby is a realy good character tho the way we see his mental health decline through chess is really good aswell as showing the affects of chess on his mind. I especially liked when they showed the Soviet chess player having simaler mental health issues. I internally thought this movie was gonna be American propaganda and anti communist but to me the anti communist sentiment feels more like an affect of the Cold War on Bobby's character blaming them as the de facto "bad guys".
