An attractive, intelligent film that's intractably at odds with itself.

I love this kind of movies a brilliant chess player played by John Turturro was spectacular the story is fantastic. I love John Turturro he is such a great actor I think he is one of the best actors of the world.

An amazing performance from Turturro plays the genius chess player - who is mixed in romance, deception and tragedy. A great worthwhile movie to watch.

Turturro .... delivers a mesmerizing portrayal of Alexander Luzhin.

If you were to think of it as a Merchant Ivory remake of A Beautiful Mind you wouldn't be far wrong. This is an atmospheric costume drama. It makes interesting use of flashbacks and these combine with fine performances to give a real feeling of being transported. As a whole it has a finely judged disturbing and disoriented atmosphere.
