King Richard

A quality biopic based on the incredible true story of Richard Williams, an undeterred father who was instrumental in raising two of the most extraordinarily gifted athletes of all time.

AroView: The story of Venus and Serena Williams’ rise to the top of women’s tennis is incredible, and this is an engaging biopic for that reason at the very least. You don’t have to admire the disgraced Will Smith to enjoy the other pleasures of its Hollywood treatment – it’s a story of underdog conviction that literally has to be seen to be believed.

“The beauty of Zach Baylin’s script is that while the arc is familiar, hardly a single detail could be described as clichéd, seeing as how the specifics are virtually unprecedented.” ~Peter Debruge, Variety
