The film Battle of the Sexes is a docudrama of the historic tennis match in 1973 between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. The movie is 3 stories. One story is about an aging “clownish” athlete played by Steve Carell. A second story is about the coming out of a lesbian woman. The third story is about the cultural changes of the 1970’s where women and men took on new roles and sexual expression widen to include same sex romance. The third story is a helpful reminder of the changes in just the last 30 years. I enjoyed this film. It is available widely including Netflix. 8/3/21
