A biopic origin story for Venus and Serena Williams and their journey to tennis GOAT-ness. I am presuming that some creative license was taken with the family history and the struggles, but overall this is quite an uplifting and inspiring story. There are lots of little things that niggled at me about how people are portrayed, or assumptions that are made about characters, or decisions about who to emphasize in the telling of the story, all of which just touch on being tone deaf in a highly sensitive diversity/equity world. That said, I am not sure that it matters if they niggled at me when it is not my story to tell. So go see this and enjoy the greatness that is the Williams sisters.
4 stars (out of 5)
