4/5

It’s a highly watchable film, which makes the strong and valid point that even in the cutthroat world of professional sport there is, in fact, room for real friendship and “sportsmanship”.

4/5

Titles, records, and trophies end up taking a backseat to a much more relevant realization: great athletes rarely build their legacy alone. They need a rival capable of forcing them to reinvent themselves time and again. [Full review in Spanish]

Another first-right tennis doc, in which Rebecca Gitlitz, the director, sets up some fascinating dichotomies between the two.

It stands out because it’s about a friendship turned rivalry turned friendship again, where the relationship between its two subjects constitutes a sum greater than its individual biographical parts.

This is a great documentary. Their careers had such symmetry. They played each other 80 times. They each won 18 major titles. They both have experienced cancer. And they're both very fond of each other.

I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot of new things about the two of them, even though they were both from my generation and I admired both of them. Definitely made me tear up a few times. I don’t wanna give too much away, but I was definitely surprised about where their lives are now.
