Stone and Carell ace it in this smart biopic, stylishly recreating the champ-vs-clown clash of the tennis titans that electrified ’70s America.
A fascinating story, rendered in broad, middlebrow strokes.
A playful look at gender inequality on and off the court.
A light, funny, blissfully entertaining flick about heavy, sadly still relevant themes.
Battle of the Sexes has the honour of being the first great film about tennis, but it’s also a joyous celebration of an important moment of progress that needs to be remembered – now more than ever.
A seductively enjoyable, smart and well-acted film.
The glib screenplay is often thumpingly obvious but this is an entertaining crowd-pleaser.
Emma Stone and Steve Carell transport us back to 1973’s famous tennis showdown between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.
