    Gibney allows his documentary to meander. This project will struggle to hold the attention of anybody who isn’t a devotee of a specific era of tennis. Even as a tennis fan and somebody who grew up admiring Becker in particular, I found myself frequently pondering how many interesting ideas Gibney has in Boom! Boom! and how poorly they sometimes coalesce.

    Despite some great archive material and nice interview turns, this documentary portrait of disgraced German tennis legend Boris Becker from film-maker Alex Gibney is a frustrating and disappointing experience – because of the baffling way it is structured, both unrevealing and anticlimactic.
