The guy's wildly temperamental tennis would never be my first choice for such an acutely cinematic undertaking. But Mr. Faraut knows what he's doing.

'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.

'Perfection' at times risks being too pleased with itself for its own good, but its one-of-a-kind credentials are never in doubt.

Spry and playful at times, pedantic and ponderously repetitive at others, the film is French down to its sweaty tennis socks and ultimately a touch too self-satisfied in its clever unconventionality. But as an idiosyncratic sports doc about an unapologetically adversarial personality, it will find a receptive audience, especially among tennis buffs.
