Roger Ebert

Anchored by a magnetic lead performance and bolstered by world-class acting, marvelous visual language, a teleplay that’s never less than gripping, and an admirable willingness to embrace contradiction and ambiguity, it’s one of the year’s best series.

The Guardian

Unlike chess, The Queen’s Gambit is slightly less than the sum of its parts, but you will have a great deal of fun watching them at work.

The Hollywood Reporter

Taylor-Joy’s tour de force performance — one that deserves awards recognition over the months to come — is integral to the success of The Queen’s Gambit, but it’s far from the seven-episode saga’s only asset.

IGN

The drama of their matches, and Beth’s battles with other lesser opponents, are driven by Taylor-Joy’s evocative performance.

IMDb

The Queen's Gambit shows (mostly) realistic chess positions, and has put real effort into making sure the characters move naturally.
