- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsI didn't feel this was an Oscar worthy performance. Many other biographies have been better done.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsFantastic to see what it took for Serena and Venus to be global superstars. Their dad's story is very interesting too. Really enjoyed this film
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsWill Smith nails the tricky Louisiana accent, and delivers one of the best roles of his career. Richard Williams is a complicated man, both a dreamer and a petty tyrant, and Smith weaves through those subplots with a deftness that few actors could demonstrate. I'll admit I knew little about the backstory of the Williams sisters, other than they were incredible tennis players, so this was enlightening as well as entertaining. And I should note that Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor matches Smith in every scene -- you absolutely believe that this is a married couple with five daughters, not enough money, working too many jobs and living in a crime-ridden neighborhood. Her combination of strength and religion-based subservience is nothing short of incredible. (#442 in my "watch all Best Picture Nominees" bucket list)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsHeartfelt and I felt the love for the family and the game. Not the best I've ever watched but highly enjoyable
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsGreat movie! Acting was amazing and a very emotional performance. I can't believe that it's almost 2.5 hours long it didn't feel like it I was so invested in it from the first minute of watching it. Totally agree with will smith getting Oscar for this performance it's a must watch!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsThe Venus and Serena Williams origin story. Regrettably, because its theme — the power and essentialness of the nuclear family, determination and a strong father (Will Smith) — is contra the prevailing victimhood narrative it is almost assured of being overlooked by the awards industry.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsIt glosses over Richard's poor treatment of his first family.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsAmazing story about the father of the two most talented and known tennis players. Love to see a father dedicate all himself to give a future to his children.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsVery good movie with great story and cinematography. Loved the acting.
