Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It's often said that familiarity breeds contempt. However, in the case of the hagiographic documentary, Federer: Twelve Final Days, it seems like the reverse is true. A movie made for uber-fans of the legendary Swiss tennis maestro, the film offers some emotional catharsis and interesting insight into the athlete and his inner circle.
Federer: Twelve Final Days Is A Labored Tribute To An Icon Before assessing whether Federer: Twelve Final Days is worth watching, it's important to understand who the movie is aimed at. This is not a sporting documentary with the jeopardy of The Last Dance, nor the drama of co-director Asif Kapadia's earlier film Senna. Instead, it plays like a funerary service whose power is constantly undermined by the fact that the dearly departed is playing an active role in the ceremony.
Unfortunately, while most viewers will undoubtedly be aware of Federer's remarkable career, titles, and legacy, the uncomfortable truth is that these are all much more interesting than the story the film insists on telling. Just as The Last Dance succeeded by breathing new life into old glories, Federer: Twelve Final Days tantalizes with glimpses of the great man at his free-flowing best.
Federer: Twelve Final Days Teases With Interesting Details What's most frustrating is that there is plenty of content here to make an interesting sports documentary for everyone. It would have been fascinating, for instance, to watch in real-time how the trauma of surgery affected Federer mentally, or how he miraculously recovered from knee surgery to regain the Australian Open and Wimbledon titles in 2017.
