Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's a very, very watchable doc. Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald This captivating new documentary by Barney Douglas shows an entirely different side of McEnroe -- and reveals him to have been a far more sensitive soul than most will have suspected. Rated: 4/5 Oct 28, 2022 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I love this film... Seeing John McEnroe become the guy that he became. Sep 10, 2022 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome While the film proves to be a wonderful time capsule for the fashion (and the hair!) of the ’70s and ’80s, there’s not much more to McEnroe. Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Christopher Connor Movie Marker Magazine Still, we get a sense of his perfectionism and how, ultimately, the drive to succeed prevented him from enjoying his career as much as he might and perhaps should have. Rated: 4/5 Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …does a good job of recording the full force of a bull in an antiquarian china shop… Rated: 3/5 Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Kevin L Generally good document on the sports legend and tennis icon. McEnroe's place in the culture of tennis is well secured. His place in the annals of the all-time greats is a bit nebulous. Here's a player who had it all on his racquet to be in the argument of that top 2% of players. It's not a doc trying to figure out all the intricacies of the man and his failings. But it does show him and his life, personal and public, and how it worked to aid and hinder him transforming into the beloved personality and tennis expert he is today. 3.4 stars Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review mhm2908 Far too long. Eventually became boring and too self indulgent. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
