What the critics said

Notable Critics

"What makes "The Queen's Gambit" so satisfying comes in large measure from the character Taylor-Joy brings to screen: a charming, elegant weirdo who delivers her lines with a cool, wintergreen snap, and never really reacts the way one might expect."

— Rachel Syme

"The Queen's Gambit is still largely satisfying anyway, as a handsome-looking period piece, another showcase for Taylor-Joy's talents (and her eyes), and a consideration of anxiety, unprocessed trauma, and how both can so easily conspire to drive a genius."

— Jen Chaney
