The most positive review

As to the acting, it was great! The biopic was about the family and the inception of greatness. It took the word "humble" to a new level. As i see it, it is a exceptional
performance by all the actors. Note: Very little of the film is about the mechanics
of tennis but more about the struggle to envision a dream and chase it down.
Will Smith (King Ricard) is ready for a nomination. Hats off to the girls (Singleton)
and (Sidney) for strong performances. I hope the Real World Williams Family enjoyed
the film. Thanks for all the hard work in and off the courts. Inspired by all.

The most negative review

King Richard feels a little too gentle with a favourable look at a key figure in the careers of two of the most significant tennis players the world has seen.
The script starts off intending this to be a feel good story though it’s not without some dark moments.
It’s immediately a folksy good hearted angle for Wiliams Snr. He’s determined yet kind hearted. It’s a favourable view, but calls critics of that can be told thatAfrican American people could be cut a little slack. There’s no doubting the spirit behind the film.
Smith’s performance is as sincere as the character is. The rest of the cast as the family and coaching staff are just as good with their performances.
It’s a feel good film to be sure, but the thing about feel good films is that they make you feel good.
