King Richard

By the mid-'80s, when his daughters were still of preschool age, tennis coach Richard Williams (Will Smith) had resolved that both would mature into professional stars. The determination with which he wheedled opportunities for them, and the pushback that his singular focus often engendered from the young Venus (Saniyya Sidney) and Serena (Demi Singleton), and their mom Brandi (Aunjanue Ellis), propel this remarkable sports bio. Jon Bernthal, Tony Goldwyn, Dylan McDermott co-star. 138 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
