Reviews for Game Over - Kasparov and the Machine
An involving character study.
02/03/05
Gripping, suspenseful, and spiced with fascinating information about the long history of chess between human and mechanical opponents.
12/02/04
Vikram Jayanti's gripping documentary Game Over reminds us that chess legend Garry Kasparov's greatest victory was charged with political significance.
11/30/04
Top CriticTells a gripping story that resonates with numerous subtexts.
12/16/04
Director Vikram Jayanti makes a nail-biter out of the historic 1997 match between the charismatic, mordantly funny Kasparov and the steamer trunks of circuitry.
12/03/04
Top Criticinteresting on a human level since it doesn't dwell on the strategical and analytical aspects of the game
02/03/06
Kasparov is a sympathetic character and, even as he belabors the outcome years later, we feel for him
06/03/05
This is all great, compelling stuff, and although director Jayanti sometimes goes overboard with his technique (weird inserts, strange camera angles), it's a story that practically tells itself.
12/08/04
It's a fascinating story, and mostly because Garry Kasparov is a fascinating subject.
03/04/05
Vikram Jayanti's solid documentary is still fairly suspenseful.
12/03/04
Top CriticWhat is strongly suggested, and what a casual chess player might not expect, is the degree to which the game involves psychological warfare
04/08/05
Has the paranoid tone and narrative urgency of a conspiracy thriller.
12/03/04
It should be good fun for chess lovers. For the chess-indifferent, it also has some enjoyable moments.
03/25/05
One of the most exciting, instructive and sheerly entertaining of all chess films.
01/27/05
Top CriticShort on investigative journalism but long on drama.
01/14/05
An engaging film.
03/04/05
Top CriticThough it never disguises its sympathies for Kasparov and contempt for a powerful corporation's machinations, docu is finally a speculation on the limits of the human mind and how truth can never be fully known.
03/04/05
Top CriticHaunting and provocative documentary.
03/17/05
A film which builds into a gripping blend of When We Were Kings and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
