In this intimate and revealing documentary, legendary tennis star Roger Federer shares his decision to retire after an illustrious career that spanned decades. Filmmakers Asif Kapadia and Joe Sabia capture Federer's final days on the court as he prepares for his last tournament, the 2022 Laver Cup, offering a rare glimpse into the life and mind of one of the greatest athletes of all time. Through candid interviews with Federer, his wife Mirka and his chief rivals Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, the film provides a fascinating portrait of a man grappling with the end of an era. 


Federer: Twelve Final Days is a fitting tribute to a tennis icon and a must-see for fans of the sport. Kapadia and Sabia's film is a celebration of Federer’s incredible achievements, but it also offers a poignant exploration of universal themes such as aging, legacy and letting go. With its unprecedented access to Federer during a pivotal moment in his life, Federer: Twelve Final Days is an unique and profoundly moving documentary that serves as a fitting farewell to a true legend of the game.––Jarod Neece
