King Richard
You’re about to see an amazing, entertaining and inspirational story of parental perseverance that will provide information you never knew about the Williams sisters.
“A look at how tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams became who they are after the coaching from their father Richard Williams”
I’ll admit I had no clue what the back story was about the Williams family. First I learned of Venus and Serena Williams was in the late ‘90s. Even then all I knew was they were great tennis players. Although I'm not into tennis, there was no denying their talent.
This is a powerful film that takes you for an emotional ride that can be extremely intense one minute, then totally frustrated in another!
What I didn't know about was their life story the film "King Richard" looks at this from their father as a man who gave tough love out of a desire for his children to have a better life than he had.
It’s a great movie all around. Every cast member puts in a fine performance, and it's lovable to see the whole story play out.
Definitely want to see this one.
Armed with a clear vision and a brazen, 78-page plan, Richard Williams is determined to write his two daughters, Venus and Serena, into history. Training on tennis courts in Compton, Calif.
