What’s It All About? Legendary tennis player John McEnroe was known for his emotional volatility as much as he was known for his greatness on the court. Set during one night in New York City, this documentary from director Barney Douglas is an intimate, candid exploration of McEnroe as revealed by the man himself. Featuring home videos and previously unseen footage from his epic matches, McEnroe is a journey into the heart and soul of an athlete whose quest for perfection took him to emotionally and mentally dark places. “I was on such an unbelievable high. No. 1 in the world. I’m the greatest player that’s ever played,” McEnroe recalls. “Why does it not feel all that amazing?”
