This is not only a fantastic insight into what it takes to be at the absolute pinnacle of your sport, but it is also a superbly made film.
Olivia Cappuccini has put together a beautiful documentary on how one of the best sportsmen on the planet desperately tries to get back his fitness following a potential career ending injury. We see that for a sportsperson like this it is not a solo endeavour; he is part of a team, and we see how much Andy relies on the inputs from that team, and the consequences of not listening to them.
It successfully demonstrates how incredibly small margins that mean nothing to us mere mortals, are the difference between continuing or ending a professional sports career.
It is beautifully made, and Andy Murray himself lays it all out for us to see...and more importantly, the love and support he has from his wife Kim, who is a partner who completely understands what it takes to support someone to achieve greatness.
Liking Andy Murray himself is not necessarily relevant to the enjoyment of it, although that does make it all the better.
score 8/10
