Jordan Riefe The Hollywood Reporter Visually arresting as it is, the pic stands out mainly for its subject matter, the first documentary on blind chess, even though it fits snugly within the sub-genre of underdog stories. Aug 21, 2018 Full Review Namrata Joshi Outlook The narrative moves seamlessly between the games and competitions to the boys' homes, neighbourhoods and cities. When it comes to the sport itself, the film plants you on the 64 squares. Rated: 3/4 Aug 21, 2015 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) Shot in black and white, and featuring lots of close-ups of fingers reading the chess pieces like braille, the film echoes the meditative pacing of the game. Rated: 3/5 Nov 7, 2014 Full Review Rahul Desai CatchNews Algorithms makes me wish I could play the game. More importantly, it demonstrates that, just like chess is about the mind, so is (dis)ability. Feb 11, 2019 Full Review Rachit Gupta Filmfare It's rare to see such transcendence in a film. And that's exactly why this should be watched and cherished by every movie buff out there. Aug 21, 2015 Full Review Josh Spiegel Movie Mezzanine ...while these disparate parts are compelling on a surface level, Algorithms is unable to cohere into a decent, coherent, and consistently paced whole. Rated: C- Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
