Critics Consensus

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Nothing we dunno about already, it seemingly appears he wanted to keep his name and fame in circulation as it's only 2 years after his retirement. Strictly for his Super Fans.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Boring and sycophantic portrayal. Should be more focused on his struggles and on tennis itself.
