King Richard: A Must See Film

King Richard: A Must See Film

Warner Brothers Pictures released King Richard, a nonfiction depiction of the Williams family’s origins starring Will Smith, in November of 2021. Over the past twenty years, Serena Williams has become one of the most familiar names in the tennis world, alongside her older sister, Venus. Both sisters have won numerous grand slams and achieved the greatest accolades available to a tennis player. King Richard reveals the values and standards the two girls grew up with, whether on the tennis courts or in the rough California neighborhood they were from. After practicing relentlessly on their local, worn-down courts, they progressed in skill and began to make a name for themselves. Running at nearly two and a half hours long, the film goes into great detail to show the heartwarming, inspiring, and remarkable moments of the sisters’ experiences. The cinematography and beauty, both visually and figuratively, of the movie reflect its feel-good, motivational spirit.
