Review of Gender Wars (2015) by Mike P — 25 Sep 2017
Emma Stone as Billie Jean King faces off against Steve Carell as Bobby Riggs. One of the most intense tennis matches you'll ever seen.
No seriously, it's either you vs a CPU on Wii Sports Tennis or this. Battle of the Sexes is historically accurate displaying how women gain their equal pay rights in the United States Tennis Association. You will see how Billie Jean King fights for that right to have all women recognized on their side of the court. The film does not try to force the politics of women's right but it pushes for that very focus that Billie King went for. Steve Carell played Riggs very well to that extent that Riggs's character is near the fitting trait for most of Carell's film roles.
This may not be a movie for everyone, but it fills the 70s mood and history the audience can absorb.
