Well cast film suffers from being too safe. The film is inspiring and showcases just how slow times change. Stone is strong and Carrell is well cast in a more supporting role. I don't believe the film captured the era or the characters motivations. This is more Disney feel good when the film should've been primarily focused on Billie Jean Kings internal and external struggles. I liked the, but it deserved to be much better. This was a film deserving of a larger audience and failed at the box office because of the distribution model. Certain films have the luxury of streaming to the world directly, and Battle of the Sexes is one of those films.
