"John McEnroe: In the Realm of Perfection" is a sports documentary unlike any other, a beguiling and delightful piece of visionary non-fiction that uses its namesake to investigate the ontological nature of watching tennis.
David Ehrlich, indieWire
Faraut, with support from narrator Mathieu Amalric and Kermadec's stunning eye, creates something unusual in the annals of sports documentaries, namely high art.
