Preview: Queen to Play (2011)

Synopsis:

A middle-aged chambermaid forms a unique friendship with a reclusive American expatriot as she explores her newfound interest in the game of Chess.

• Poster: C-

Review:

Such a generic, uneventful poster. It may do a sufficient job of advertising the film without giving away too much information, but it's too common to be notable.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

The idea behind the film isn't entirely accessible and, unless you have a fascination with chess or Kevin Kline, you'll probably just skip this altogether.

Oscar Prospects:

I don't expect this to earn much Oscar consideration, but anything can happen when an American performs in a foreign language.

Release Date:

• April 1, 2011
