Vilas: Serás lo que debas ser o no serás nada (2020)
For tennis buff
This is an interesting although a bit ackward movie. Although the whole premise and most of the movie focuses on the fact that the ATP miscalculated rankings back in the 70s and that Vilas should have been #1 for 5 weeks or so we don't have any way to make up our minds as the maths are apparently very complex. However the original game footage with the likes of Connors, Anastasem Borg etc is very interesting. The movie does not address Vilas's alzheimer which is visible although not mentionned sepcifically. The contrast of trying to rewrite history while Vilas struggles with Alzheimer would have have added a human touch. The last 20 minutes of the movie are more emotional while the rest of the movie is more technical.

Nice 'educational' movie
I rented this movie but then made the mistake to check the IMDb rating. It was at 5.4. I was not expecting much but ended watching the whole movie and pleased that I did so. You follow the different stories of teenagers coming to terms with their sexuality and their acceptance of others. It was a bit too 'educational' to me at some points (you get the typical question: what is the difference between a cross dresser, a trans-gender and a drag queen!) and sure that the movie is aimed at a teenager crowd, but the acting is well done, especially the dance teacher. Dancing is the rally point for all the characters and is used as a theater of life. Again, well done. For all of this, I give this movie a 8 out of 10.
