Will Smith's Oscar-winning film - leaving aside his actions on that particular night - "King Richard" is definitely more a work of acting than a satisfying film as a whole Smith embodies the role of Richard Williams, father and coach of the great tennis players Serena and Venus, with unwavering devotion
"King Richard" follows the familiar arc of a typical sports biopic, while providing compelling insight into the man who shaped his daughters' extraordinary careers However, while Richard may have been the coach who turned his daughters into international sports superstars, he was also a very flawed man
"King Richard" may not break new ground in the sports biopic genre, but Smith's imposing portrayal elevates the film to something worth watching and is worth seeing through to a satisfying conclusion
