For me, it’s a great movie at all. 9/10

Williams, as charismatically portrayed by Smith, is overwhelming, obstinate,bold, savvy, selfless…. denied him is King Richard’s salient dramatic spark. It’s the essence of who the movie says the man is.

The climactic scenes in “King Richard” take place in 1994, as Venus Williams, 14 years old and in her second professional tennis match, faces Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario, at the time the top-ranked player in the world.

I hold the breath and full of conflicting emotion as watching the director Reinaldo Marcus Green’s skillful and suspenseful restaging. The ending is also unexpected.. and inspiring.

The controversial comments: 1. the story is all about Will Smith, not really about the Will Smiths sister. 2. Reckless? Heroic?

Venus and her younger sister Serena went on to dominate and transform women’s tennis, winning 30 Grand Slam singles titles between them (plus 14 doubles titles as a team) and opening up the sport to aspiring champions of every background.

They are credited as executive producers of this film. You might also know that those achievements fulfilled an ambition that their father, Richard Williams, had conceived before Venus and Serena were born.
