A swan-song to middling effect, this encapsulation of one man's career may skim through his life but offers fans more Federer, making Twelve Final Days a solemn goodbye.

Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) The tone of this film mirrors Roger Federer as a player and human being: elegant, classy, detached and cool. Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Like its subject, the film is not particularly revolutionary or groundbreaking in its approach. But again, like its subject, it is a work of unmistakable quality and class. Rated: 3/5 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Camilla Long Times (UK) Federer was unique at being: mild. It’s why so many crying dads love him. On screen this doesn’t play so well. Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Twelve Final Days won't appeal to audiences unfamiliar with tennis. But those who are familiar with the sport are also likely to be fans of Federer's. Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht This is probably going to mean a lot to anyone who watched and followed Federer’s entire career, but nothing jumped off the screen for me. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 5, 2024 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Those looking for a Lleyton Hewitt-to-Hubert Hurkacz lookback at the Swiss master’s lows and many highs are going to be sorely disappointed, the small snatches of archival footage mainly there to compare and contrast early and late-career Federer. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is a great documentary on the face of it. Federer comes across as humble and likeable, and the scenes with his family are lovely. However, what really bothers me is that in this entire film there are endless references to "the best player' "the greatest player" etc etc AND NOT ONE MENTION OF SERENA!!! Best male player =\= best player and it is exhausting that this should still be pointed out. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Om _ First of all, he's the greatest of all time. And the movie was fantastic it made me cried super emotional its the perfect movie❤️100/100 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Michael W This sports documentary was really good. Roger Federer and the entire crew did an excellent job on making this documentary. It was dramatic and interesting to watch. They really go into what Roger was preparing for on the day of Roger's final match. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review CP D I live for any Federer content Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Scott M Documentary is somewhat devalued for those that know, in that in the minds of most, Djokovic has already surpassed Federer in the rankings of all time greats. Even still, film effectively captures the harsh reality of father time, which even icons can not out run. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Leauna H The description on Prime Video stared "home video was leaked that was never meant to be seen." This lead me to believe something dramatic was going to happen, but it was the most boring and slow dragged out documentary of someone retiring I have ever seen. Norhing happemed, except he retired, like watching paint dry for me. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
