REVIEWS "In The Open is essentially a sunny, upbeat Gen-X dramedy that uses chess as a backdrop. . . The people we meet during the film, all of whom have nothing in common other than a love of and talent for chess, come at life with the same sensibilities the use to win at the game." Jason Seals, reviewer. "If the USCF had a sense of humor, they would show this film publicly at every national event. It will undoubtedly become an underground classic on the chess circuit." Eric C. Johnson, Chess Master. |
