Or whatever it is they say during Tennis matches - so no pun intended. Have to admit, I did not expect much with this one. But since I did follow both those players throughout their careers I was a bit curious. Not like I knew or wanted to know what went on in their private lives. And the movie itself says that it did not stick entirely to the truth - so I reckon certain things are a bit exaggerated.
Still weird to have another dad who is quite hard on his daughter - different than the Williams dad in many areas and degrees - but still quite pushy. And with other issues and problems. Steffi always felt a bit like ... she was without emotions. In this sentiment I do believe the movie, that she was just more private about it.
And while I had to adjust a bit, the actors portraying real life people, do look like them - some more than others! Brooke Shields (the actress portraying her) is spot on! Also the only one who is showing a little bit of skin (it's a German production - no real nudity though) during a love making scene.
But this is more about two seemingly different people ... having a lot in common ... way more than one would suspect! And according to the end credits, they are still living their best life ... way more privately now.
The movie is light and funny - and has passages in German - which makes sense considering Steffi would not talk English with her parents. Great acting and really the definition of a feel good movie (with hurdles and all to overcome as always) ...
