King Richard [DVD] [2021]

Product Information

They absolutely earned it but the push from their father is one that is worth observing for all the hardship and warts that came with it. The film stars Will Smith as Richard Williams, the father and coach of famed tennis players Venus and Serena Williams (both of whom served as executive producers on the film), with Aunjanue Ellis, Saniyya Sidney, Demi Singleton, Tony Goldwyn, and Jon Bernthal in supporting roles. Training on Compton, Californias abandoned tennis courts - rain or shine - the girls are shaped by their fathers unyielding commitment and their mothers balanced perspective and keen intuition, defying the seemingly insurmountable odds and prevailing expectations laid before them. Venus initially struggles in her first professional match against Shaun Stafford, but eventually triumphs. I loved this film and it has made me revere all of the Williams's family achievements, coming from what they did to where they are now.

The thing that impressed me most was quite simply that Richard never treated his children as cash cows the moment it was realised how good they were.

As both girls continue to succeed, the family are treated as outsiders among the predominantly white, upper-class competition.

Rick urges them to accept, but the family collectively agrees to decline, believing that once Venus begins to play she will attract more lucrative offers.
