King Richard (12A) |Close-Up Film Review

December 19, 2021December 19, 2021 Carol Allen Aunjanue Ellisde, Demi Singleton, Saniyya Sidney, Will Smith

The “King Richard” of the title is not one of the three English monarchs of that name but refers to American Richard Williams, father of tennis stars Venus and Serena.  The film is the story of how his iron will and rigorous discipline turned his daughters into world class champions.

Censor (15) |Close-Up Film Review
