Review For Brooklyn Castle
Brooklyn Castle is inspiring stuff that grabs you by the throat and will leave you cheering - quietly of course. No shouting in a chess match. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star There's a general spirit of triumph and perseverance to "Brooklyn Castle" that's inevitably uplifting. Tom Long-Detroit News "Brooklyn Castle" easily checkmates your inner cynic. Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle Katie Dellamaggiore's lively and affecting documentary introduces us to a cast of characters that's very winning (in both senses of the word). Mark Feeney-Boston Globe It's not To Sir, With Love: It's fierce ambition, the channeling of emotion, and hours of drilling. David Edelstein-New York Magazine We meet five of the team's members and several of their teachers; by its end, you'll be rooting for them all. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times ... a powerful and positive story about dedicated teachers helping kids succeed no matter what their circumstances Emily S. Mendel-culturevulture.net Like chess, not exactly a high-energy experience but seeing what these kids accomplish, seemingly against all odds is breathtaking all the same. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) ...provides a corrective to the popular image of American schools as obsessed with sports and popularity, and it makes the strongest possible case for funding after-school activities. Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters Chess, brilliant young students and great teachers potent mix. James Verniere-Boston Herald The I.S. 318 team? A delightfully motley, vulnerable, multicultural bunch, whose addiction to chess has allowed them higher aspirations for top high schools and, eventually, college and careers. You will root for them like crazy. Gerald Peary-Boston Phoenix "BROOKLYN CASTLE is a compelling, engaging and inspiring Documentary, featuring Junior High kids that you can relate to. Even if you don't know the game of Chess all too well, it won't stop you from enjoying this pleasant film." Austin Kennedy-Film Geek Central Brooklyn Castle provides a snapshot of indomitable American can-do attitude, and gives one hope. Brent Simon-Shockya.com
