BATTLE OF THE SEXES (12)
BATTLE Of The Sexes serves-and-volleys a handsome dramatisation of the televised 1973 match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, which was billed as a showdown of youth versus experience.
Oscar winner Emma Stone, left, turns in an affecting performance as King, and Steve Carell portrays her opponent as a media-savvy showman and buffoon. The leads are game, set and perfectly matched.
