Love all at the end


Borg vs McEnroe (2017)

Directed by Janux Metz Pedersen this film based on real events stars Sverrir Gudnason, Shia LaBeouf, Stellan Skarsgard and Tuva Novotny. After winning four straight championships in a row at Wimbledon the Swedish player Bjorn Borg faces a new challenge in John McEnroe.

Looking more at Borg than McEnroe this film is some what refreshing in the way it shows nerves and doubt in a top level sports person. The plot is a little predictable but I enjoyed the more human characters. Well made but I would have liked the script to be a little more even handed.

4/5
