... An entertaining, occasionally illuminating and at times surprisingly moving look at the final bow of a genuine tennis legend.

The paradox is that this film’s original footage, in contrast to the vividly repurposed material of the Senna and Maradona studies, weirdly looks less intimate and more guarded. Everything here looks as if it has been approved at the highest level.

Rated: 2/5

It’s generally entertaining to watch Federer highlights. But it would be difficult to convince anybody without a pre-existing interest that this constitutes compelling storytelling on any level.

Epoch Times

It’s somewhat disheartening that Mr. Federer felt the need to participate in a production so lacking in depth. The film ends up to be flat-out boring with a dollop of self-aggrandizement. There’s far too much screen time spent on non-sports content.

Rated: 2.5/5

Kapadia is operating at half-capacity, tentatively crafting a riskless, shallow, though undeniably moving venture that’s more in service of its star than in search of a unique story.

Meanwhile, the strength of the film—like so many contemporary documentaries—ultimately comes down to one word: access.

I'm not the biggest Tennis fan in the world, but this was surprisingly entertaining . I was a bit taken aback by the honesty in this. The message i took was, you don't get to be as great as him without enormous sacrifice & dedication.
