The film has landed squarely in the middle of a culture war within the U.S. Some claim the film qualifies as child exploitation—amplified by supporters of a QAnon-related conspiracy theory claiming top Democrats and celebrities are part of a worldwide child trafficking ring. Others defend the film as a nuanced coming-of-age story about the challenges of being a young girl—especially a young Black girl.
Maimouna Doucouré, the film’s director, has explained her intentions behind the film:

It is a great blessing that, from her teenage years onward, Beth is played by Anya Taylor-Joy, star of The Witch , the most recent Emma. , and, soon, the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel .
The Queen's Gambit , adapted from the novel by Walter Tevis, obviously focuses quite heavily on chess, a game that can be a bit dull, especially to those who don't fully understand its rules.
