Brooklyn Castle does a superb job of celebrating the triumph while reinforcing the relentless vigilance it requires from everyone involved.

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

With Brooklyn Castle it's really nice to see so many young, positive minds at play in the world, and to cheer on so many smiling children dreaming of enlightened futures.
Elias Savada-Film Threat

... 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.

Movie Overview For Brooklyn Castle

Brooklyn Castle is a documentary about I.S. 318 â€" an inner-city school where more than 65 percent of students are from homes with incomes below the federal poverty level â€" that also happens to have the best, most winning junior high school chess team in the country. (If Albert Einstein, who was rated 1800, were to join the team, he’d only rank fifth best.) Chess has transformed the school from one cited in 2003 as a “school in need of improvement” to one of New York City’s best. But a series of recession-driven public school budget cuts now threaten to undermine those hard-won successes.
