Nice biopic with messages
30 June 2022
Historical film that tells a part of the life of the tennis player Billie Jean King, unknown to us, that allows to show a page of the history of this sport and of the American media with themes as the female homosexuality, the phallocracy and the misogyny, but also the stupidity of the media. These last two themes are carried by Steve Carrel in the role of Bobbie Riggs. What is impressive is that what is shown seems to have really happened.

Historical films like this are always well done by Americans: everything is perfect, Emma Stone and Steve Carrell, but also the whole cast. Re-enactments, sets, costumes, make-up, hair styles... all the technical elements are perfect. As an old hand at screenwriting, Simon Beaufoy has designed a perfect set that perfectly supports the messages that the film carries.

To be seen for the subject. And for its two star actors, if you are a fan.
