Even if I got angry because it's different from the book at the beginning of the movie, I got used to it and also liked that. Watching Dr. B.'s increasing madness while he was suffering from the Nazis and seeing that when he was "free," he didn't return to his old state (as if the only pain he was suffering from wasn't his chess addiction) was amazing. In the book, it seems like he hasn't suffered from anything except his chess addiction and loneliness.
Moreover, Oliver Masucci has incredible acting skills, which provide a better understanding of Dr. B.'s psychology.
Overall, even though I didn't like some of the details, I really enjoyed the movie, and the acting is one of the reasons for it.
