4 stars out of 5 -- Visually it pops with ’70s colour, from stylist Ted Tinling’s bespoke tennis dresses to the blue skies and golden sunshine of the locations. And for all the serious issues being explored, the directors and screenwriter Simon Beaufoy maintain a cheeky sense of humour throughout...

Rating: C- --
As the Supreme Poohbah of Pastry, Mary Berry, would far more eloquently explain from beneath the tent during The Great British Bake Off: You can have all the right ingredients and still make a gross-tasting cake of shame and disappointment.

The Reader (Omaha, NE)
It is an entertaining and illuminating film that shines a light on the emergence of the feminist movement and changes in attitude towards sexuality.

Movies and Shakers
The best angle of the film is the way it illuminates the difference between fighting for equality and battling to hold on to perceived superiority.

[E]njoyable and entertaining....BATTLE is directed with a sure hand by the skilled team of Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton, masters of well-made storytelling...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/5 --
It captures time and place, offers a diverting two hours, and asks us to consider how much or little things have changed for women in our own time.

4 stars out of 5 -- Wisecracking through matches and money-grabbing photoshoots, Carell is terrific.

Product Description:
This sports docudrama recreates the legendary 1973 "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match between Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell). When the 55-year-old Riggs brags that he can beat any woman in the world on the tennis court, 29-year-old King, then the reigning champion, accepts his challenge. Their highly publicized match soon takes on a larger meaning as a milestone in the fight for gender equality. Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. Elisabeth Shue, Andrea Riseborough, Sarah Silverman, Alan Cumming, and Bill Pullman co-star.
