FEDERER: TWELVE FINAL DAYS

FEDERER: TWELVE FINAL DAYS- 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Helmed by Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia and director Joe Sabia, the Federer documentary is an intimate follow-along through the final 12 days of Roger Federer’s illustrious career. Originally a home video never intended for public viewing, the film captures Federer at his most vulnerable and candid self, as he says goodbye to a game and the fans that shaped his life for the last two decades. Featuring interviews from legendary rivals and close friends Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokivic, and Andy Murray, Federer: Twelve Final Days provides unprecedented access to the relationship between these unparalleled stars.”

7/6/24- Weak reviews for this documentary with better ones from audiences. TRDB.
