Federer: Zwölf letzte Tage

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.

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.

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!

As a huge fan for me, tennis is Roger and I am sure there would be many fans who thinks the same For somebody like like Roger who dreamt, eat and Slept tennis. As a fan, I was curious to know how he handled the last few days before his retirement and this documentary lived up to it.

Right from the day he filmed the message till the day he played his last match at laver cup. He handled all the press conferences without getting emotional and with such a great poise and I am sure it would be very difficult for him to hold it till he played his last match where all fans in the arena cried for Roger. Go watch his wonderful and emotional journey of last few days of man who is greatest ever to pick up the tennis racket.

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!
