Review of Battle of the Sexes (2017) by Compi24 — 09 Oct 2017

"Little Miss Sunshine" co-directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton blast us back to the past with "Battle Of The Sexes," a period drama that coasts smoothly on the backs of its two, incredible lead performances, but also falters in trying to spread itself a bit too thin narratively, thematically, and in terms of perspective.

Its heart is most definitely in the right place though, and even with its overly serious take on everything involved with the 1973 match in question, its the earnestness of it all that ultimately makes it all watchable in the end.
