Keith B @Okbullard Jul 3 Wow what a great sports drama, which I had watched in 1980 but couldn't remember much other than the winner. Shia Labeouf was great as McEnroe. Sverrir Gudnason had Borg down perfectly and he even looked like him. I wasn't aware that they eventually became great friends. If you like tennis definitely watch this, the 1980 Wimbledon final was amazing. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Jun 9 Borg vs. McEnroe is a great sports drama that succeeds by focusing on the people behind the competition rather than just the matches themselves. Even for viewers who are not huge tennis fans, the film remains engaging thanks to its strong storytelling and character work. Sverrir Guðnason delivers an excellent performance, capturing both the determination and pressure faced by his character. Shia LaBeouf is equally impressive, bringing energy and intensity that helps create a compelling contrast between the two leads. The film does a fantastic job of building tension throughout its runtime. The cinematography, period detail, and realistic portrayal of professional sports all contribute to an immersive experience that feels authentic and well-crafted. What makes Borg vs. McEnroe stand out is its ability to be both an entertaining sports film and a thoughtful character study. It's not perfect, but it is consistently engaging and very well acted. I'd rate it a 8/10. See more Barrett W @Bwells4 Dec 30 Fantastic. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Everything was A rated— casting, acting, screenplay, story, the whole 9 yards. This movie was a HIT! Absolutely baffled this is the first I’ve heard of it. Could rave on and on about this one…. Will be recommending watching to everyone and definitely have to watch it again. 10/10!!! See more Jimmy J @AvatarMomo Dec 5 Excellent storytelling. Great acting. See more Stephen Z @RT93386833 05/26/2025 One of the best movies I've ever seen. A must watch for tennis fans or sports fans in general. I know the names and some history of Borg and McEnroe but this movie depicts so perfectly where the differences and similarities of each man were and how their upbringing led them in a specific direction. Borg cold and emotionless, only alive when he wins, reminds me of watching Nadal for the past 20 years. McEnroe spirited and outspoken, brought a new world to tennis. They were great opponents and the sport is better for these two have played it. See more kevenquinlan T @RT75276071 05/23/2025 Maahhh. It's a biopic of each player though far more of Borg which I didn't love. It's also heavily subtitled and he spoke swede so I guess that's fine but I grew tired reading subtitles. I grew up watching all this so it means something to me I just wasn't blown away by the film. Oh, and Shia is insanely on point with McEnroe=Great Job! See more Read all reviews
