Les douze derniers jours de Federer

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!

A film crew follow the best player that ever lived - I will countenance no arguments - through from his public announcement that he is retiring to his final match in the Laver Cup in London with all his friends and contemporaries.

Certainly this is a very detailed look at Federer's last dozen days which evidently does not sit easily with the openly very emotional man. Clearly he is adored by family, friends and his partners in tennis with Djokovic, Murray and Nadal having much to say. On the downside, I will admit that I wasn't so keen on the, inevitable I guess, back slapping at press conferences and alike which seemed to stretch on for far too long to make the point. This was compensated for though by the last 20 minutes or so at his final match which was really very touching. It was sad that he seemed to believe his life was in some ways coming to an end - although I feel sure that his legend with continue to grow with the next part of his life.

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.
