"Magnus Carlsen, called "the Mozart of chess", became world champion in 2013 at the age of 22. Benjamin Ree?s rousing documentary shows us how this taciturn prodigy got there, and how his family keeps him sane".

"'Magnus' is gifted with a tremendous opportunity and mostly squanders it, creating a profile that certainly admires Carlsen, but does little to uncover the methodology or magic behind the dazzling display he demonstrates on the board".

"An insipid and uninformative portrait of singularity and obsession".

"The movie assumes that a chronicle of Magnus's rise will be enough to keep the audience hooked. That turns out to be the right call".
