Battle of the Sexes (2017 Valerie Faris and Johnathan Dayton)

Simon Beaufoy has made a good job of imagining a true event wrapped up around a relationship / love story, involving Emma Stone and Andrea Riseborough (Witness for the Prosecution, National Treasure, Nocturnal Animals, Birdman, Resistance, Brighton Rock - didn't take in it was her throughout entire film). Steve Carrell good also. With Natalie Morales, Sarah Silverman, Elisabeth Shue, Alan Cumming, Bill Pullman, Eric Christian Olsen. Stone and Carrell were both Golden Globe nominees - Carrell would play a good psycho. The film is timely.

Carell's antics on court are often funny, visit to gamblers' anonymous. (Though this is awfully similar to a scene from Cracker.)

Shot by Linus Sandgren in Panavision, deliberately shot like it was a 70s film. I was wondering if that tennis match had been worked in from archive footage but it was just deliberately filmed with 70s limitations on celluloid. Hairdressing scene is remarkable - I read that the audio gets closer too as the scene progresses. Edited by Pamela Martin, costumes by Mary Zophres.

Faris and Dayton are married, making them rather unusual in the film world.

I want to watch it again already.
