Umpire is an intriguing slice of life in the world of competitive tennis. The atmosphere is thick with tension as Axelle grapples with her aspirations while her coach, Jeremy, is caught in a web of uncertainty. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing us to absorb her growing desperation. It's raw, almost documentary-like, capturing the emotional struggles that accompany ambition. The performances are solid; the actors wear their characters’ burdens well, making you feel every moment of doubt and hope.
