King Richard - Reviews

Smith is excellent, fully inhabiting the character...

...manages to be both a surprisingly nuanced portrait of a flawed and deeply complicated man and the kind of classic-uplift sports movie that used to fill multiplexes once upon a time.

It hits the beats you’d want but without falling into cliché, with warmth baked in so much that you’re swept along...

...a strong, confident picture with winning performances from Sidney and Singleton.

...a winning film with a confident formula that puts a premium on how raising a family with love always finds a way to success.

...every step of the way, even when Venus and Serena are in their dad’s shadow, Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton are so strong and real and likable and believable as the girls...

Will Smith övertygar som kämpande tennispappa i biopic om systrarna Serena och Venus William.

...en ganske vigtig og medrivende lærerig mainstream fortælling om repræsentation i det stadig så lumsk raceopdelte USA.

Med Smiths engagerade tolkning, en charmig Saniyya Sidney som den centrala Venus, och bra birollsskådespelare, vinner den bekanta underdogen här en arbetsseger.

Ellis är strålande som Oracene och Smith bjuder på ännu en insats där han försvinner in i en roll, den här gången som den egensinnige Richard.
