Reviews


90
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
Just about everything about this film is winning and gratifying.
80
Variety - Peter Debruge
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.
80
Screen International - Fionnuala Halligan
Served up with star turns from Emma Stone and Steve Carell, Battle Of The Sexes slams a crowdpleaser across the net.
75
The Playlist - Gregory Ellwood
The conflicts are obviously real, but there is something about the tone that’s just off through most of the picture.
75
The Film Stage - Jordan Ruimy
Although it may be lacking originality, Battle of the Sexes is finely-tuned storytelling that has been consummated by real pros.
