   Is the Dark Horse a good movie?

   • The Dark Horse brings Cliff Curtis back home, and he gives a performance that’s transcendent in more ways than one. The cinematography is evocative – rainy, rich, gritty and raw, for this inspiring but not always pretty story – and Curtis is 100-per-cent watchable as a puffy, mumbling shuffler whose chess lessons double as life strategies.

   What is the Dark Horse about?

   • The Dark Horse shows how powerful and dark this horse (Genesis Potini (Cliff Curtis)) can be. I have never experienced a movie about chess that can be so dark and energetic at some times.

   What is the most memorable part of the Dark Horse?

   • But Curtis is the most memorable part of The Dark Horse. James Napier Robertson's film combines several potentially tired subgenres — the inspirational-teacher drama, the mental illness drama, and the gang thriller — but, helped immeasurably by Curtis's performance, makes something new out of them.
