Inspiring! Richard Williams was overbearing but brave and determined. Above all, even though he wanted his daughters to be the best, he was always protective of them and ensured that they would be well-rounded individuals. |

Powerful! I've left it thinking how much I've failed my kids by not having a plan and much bigger dreams for them! Great choice tonight! |

Really liked this film. King Richard is a good example of how a dad should be. Very inspiring, putting the growth of his daughters before sports. I didn't appreciate the reference to them as African-American, is like saying European-British... Anyway, a good movie, the best of the year so far. |

A story of success - with the dark theme of racism & marginalisation throughout. Great music reflecting the script. |

Entertaining and revealing. A very enjoyable film. V well acted especially by Will Smith who seemed ultra committed to the role and the story behind the Williams sisters success. |

Full disclosure - I'm not tennis fan. But still that film was a good 30 minutes too long... |
