Review of Battle of the Sexes (2017) by Brent_Marchant — 22 Sep 2017
A well-crafted time capsule offering that superbly re-creates one of the biggest sports and social spectacles in recent history. With excellent performances by Emma Stone and Steve Carell -- who practically channel the essence of their characters -- and masterful period piece production values, this entertaining offering effectively captures the look and feel of its subject matter and its place in modern American cultural history.
Admittedly, the picture tends to drag slightly in the first 45 minutes, but, this shortcoming aside, the film otherwise delivers in every other regard. Game, set, match.
