The overall score for this is 6.4 and the two other reviews posted so far are pretty mediocre. I would attribute this less to the subject matter and more to the unusual style of the film. It's really nothing like the other "30 for 30" films I've seen and it looks almost like Martina Navratilova and Chris Everett made the film themselves!
The film consists of the two tennis champions talking to each other- --and that is it. The usual footage used in such a film is kept to a minimum, there are no other interviews nor is there any narration- -just the two tennis players chatting as they do lots of odd things (chatting on the couch, driving, jogging and more). I didn't love the style but I did appreciate several things. First, the film DID talk about how they felt about each other--particularly how Everett felt about Navratilova. Second, I was surprised how friendly they'd been earlier in their careers and why this changed. All in all, well worth seeing but not exactly a film that I loved.
By the way, this is NOT meant as criticism at all, but this film was made by female filmmakers and its style seems much more collaborative than the usual male-oriented/male-made "30 for 30" films. It does make for a nice change of pace.
