    A delightful watch

    A very enjoyable film to watch. The fact that it is a true story makes it all the more powerful. Certainly makes one think about nationality and people's rights

    A Touching Story

    A father leaves Bangladesh with his son Fahim, a chess enthusiast to introduce him to the French Master of this discipline and allow him to fulfill his dream even if the truth is much darker. Fahim is a film inspired by a true story, a story that highlights our humanity, but also the big problems of our society. The characters of the film are very touching, Assad Ahmed who is rather bluffing in the role of the little Fahim but also his father played by Mizanur Rahaman who delivers a delivery of a great sensitivity. Isabelle Nanty is always so friendly and I do not think I need to explain why Gerard Depardieu is a monstrous actor. Fahim is not a great risk-taking and even chess games are filmed with simplicity, but we let ourselves be carried away by this story which takes its main strength in its relation to the real facts. And it's a good thing.

    A Masterpiece

    This movie is a masterpiece, beautifully telling the story of a young man and his struggle with adversity. I would watch it again and again, highly recommended if you like emotional thrillers, many props to the cinematographers for their work in this movie and capturing the raw emotion of this story. Suitable for families and people of all backgrounds
