Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter -
Just about everything about this film is winning and gratifying.
|
|
Variety -
The outcome is widely known, but the backstory proves boisterously entertaining — and incredibly well-suited to the current climate, as King was both fighting for her gender and exploring her sexuality in 1973, when the widely publicized face-off happened.
|
|
Screen International -
Served up with star turns from Emma Stone and Steve Carell, Battle Of The Sexes slams a crowdpleaser across the net.
|
|
The Playlist -
The conflicts are obviously real, but there is something about the tone that’s just off through most of the picture.
|
|
The Film Stage -
Although it may be lacking originality, Battle of the Sexes is finely-tuned storytelling that has been consummated by real pros.
