Federer: Twelve Final Days

Roger Federer. The man who made me enter the world of tennis. Thank you! I never thought this documentary would be this emotional. Damn.

When this documentary only tells Federer's last 12 days, it means I'm waiting for a documentary that tells Federer's career from the beginning to become a tennis icon and even sports in general.

Synopsis: 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.

This is Rodger Federer. This seems like it was a bunch of your buddies uncles putting some cheesy documentary together about their buddy. The music selection.....oof! That was a touch opener. I know what you were going for, but it was a huge miss. If you are going for "Explosions in the Sky" pay them! They would have made this film all connect!

They really did try to reach for the emotional strings to tug at, but you can't try the entire film. Where is the build up, where is the drama??Just again...seems like a bunch of suburban dads who have clout in the industry put this together. It really was a struggle to watch.

I've never been a fan of tennis, but this little documentary was such a gift! An insight into Roger Federer - a true gentleman. My interest in Roger Federer piqued when I came across his beautiful speech he gave at the commencement ceremony at Dartmouth College. This documentary was profound to watch and I found myself getting teary numerous times while watching it. I was moved by this little documentary about this gem of person I did not know anything about. I think that speaks volumes about the kind of person that Roger Federer is. He is a sweetheart, a genuine person, an empathetic soul and such an elegant person that it's kinda hard to ignore his brilliance. He has a new fan in me!

There are only a handful of athletes/players in the world whose names are forever linked to their sport, and Federer undoubtedly stands higher among this elite group. Not only has he become phenomenon, a source of inspiration, but also an icon for millions of people globally

I really adore how the documentary delves into his personal life, showcasing his family and the relationships he has with friends and colleagues.

Although I have watched countless matches featuring him, marveling at his effortless skills on the court, specifically those classy, almost effortless one-handed backhands that are in a league of their own.

But this was the first time I witnessed him as a person rather than just a legendary player; he came across as a genuinely nice human being who deserves all the love he receives.

Now, Just to clarify, I am not a hardcore tennis enthusiast, I certainly don't possess extensive knowledge or claim to be well-versed in the statistics or analytical aspects of the game. However, I did grow up hearing names like Roger, Nadal, and later Djokovic and Murray, so seeing them all together here was a real treat, a delightful experience!

This is must watch for Federer/tennis fans. The documentry is beautifully carried n heart melting. I was in tears coupe of times while watching. I am huge huge fan of Federer n his classy play, so it touched me to the core. I am sure every fan will be definitely in tears while watching this, especially his retirement speech, even Nadal s tears.

Director has done a great job by bringing other tennis greats of his era, Nadal, Djokovic n Murray.

Considering any sport, Federer is the greatest sports person ever on this planet so far. No one has played their respective game so gracefully as the legend Federer. He is "God of Tennis".

Love Federer.
