This just came out today, and it is one of the HBO Max at same time release.  I thought it was absolutely solid, and I see Will Smith an Oscar nominee.  He is really, really good in this.  

And if you did not know the story of Venus and Serena Williams, it is a very good telling of how they, and their half sisters, were raised in one of the hardest places in the United States to grow up.

Everything she said.

 

May be Smiths best acting job, ever. Totally forget its him throughout the movie. Bernthal and the mom were also fantastic.

 

Very good movie

The movie doesn’t really address it but the three older sisters aren’t Richard’s. They were from the mom’s prior marriage (she was widowed). Richard also has 6-7 other biological children.

Nor do they address the fact that Williams moved his family from Long Beach to Compton for the expressed purpose of forcing his girls to grow up in a tough environment because he believed that would give them a mental toughness advantage in tennis. Of course it would later prove ill-fated when the eldest girl Tunde was murdered in a shootout in the early 2000s. 

I thought Will Smith did a great job.   Beyond that it was boring, yea the girls did great for the what three years they covered?    Would have been a lot better if they covered the fallout between them and their father.

They covered that in the movie

Will should probably win the Oscar for just making Richard Williams somewhat likeable

This was a pretty good movie. Will Smith and the wife were both great. I also thought they did a good job with the tennis action recreations.

Everyone I know that has seen it echoed Smith's best performance.

Loved Will Smith's performance.  Definitely will get him another Oscar nom.

Also really enjoyed John Bernthal.

Saw it last night. Very good.

Doesn’t fully paint the picture of the guy though from what I understand.
