King Richard Reviews
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Whatever rough edges have been sanded off the real Richard Williams in this telling, it's still a hell of a story.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Funny and inspirational, he disappears into the role of the man obsessed with bringing his daughters to the top of their game.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
The Williams sisters' saga is so improbably inspirational that watching their ascent, coupled with Smith's crackerjack performance, had me grinning the entire time. It's the most sheerly pleasurable movie I've seen so far this year.
New York Times
Scott Tobias
The conventions of the inspirational sports drama are too formidable an opponent to defeat.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
In this compelling, well-acted but conventionally told biopic about the unconventional dad of tennis icons Serena and Venus Williams, actor Will Smith makes another convincing bid to collect some acting trophies.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
This is a dream role for Will Smith and he attacks it with gusto. Williams is a larger-than-life character who just happens to be real, and Smith embodies his underdog, combative, indefatigable spirit to perfection.
Us Weekly
Mara Reinstein
Featuring a towering performance from Will Smith in the title role, proving that a hero is not necessarily easy to root for.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
King Richard has a Will Smith problem. It is obviously meant to be award catnip for Smith and a cinematic crowning for Richard Williams, father of Venus and Serena. And yet Smith's starring role may be the weakest part of the film.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
Smith's work here is quite effective; he expresses Williams' temerity with an easygoing slyness that is seductive enough to (briefly) look past problematic questions of exploitation.
Chicago Reader
Noëlle D. Lilley
It's a welcome addition to the biopic genre, buoyed by a career-defining performance from Will Smith.
Slate
Allegra Frank
Venus and Serena Williams are the names we rightly remember, but King Richard remains fixated on the male bravado that pushed for them to get their names out there in the first place.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
King Richard is driving hard to be a feel-good movie that celebrates a Black father who overcame the odds to lift his family out of poverty and guided his daughters' to their full potential.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
[Smith's] performance here is not a full-on impersonation, as far as I can tell. Instead, he seems to have brought his own poetic physicality to the part.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
The movie's brightest-burning idea, and it is sincerely moving, is that Richard, for his flaws, does what he does on behalf of the young Black women he's raising. This rings true in real life and in fiction.
Thrillist
Esther Zuckerman
Though [Will Smith]'s putting the full weight of his significant charm behind the characterization, it's not quite enough to illuminate a puzzling figure.
Polygon
Robert Daniels
Green's King Richard isn't a great movie, but it doesn't need to be when the characters are this warm, and its message is so earnest.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
It's one of those crowd-pleasing movies that doesn't make you feel embarrassed to be part of the crowd-you feel buoyed rather than talked down to.
ABC News
Peter Travers
As the hard-driving daddy of Venus and Serena Williams, Will Smith gives the performance of his life in an unapologetic crowd-pleaser. You just may want to stand up and cheer.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
King Richard is a spellbinding biopic of a complicated man and his two incredible daughters, all working together to do what was previously considered impossible.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
a big, traditional crowd pleaser. It doesn't innovate the sports movie formula, but it works because star Will Smith is right in the pocket as Richard Williams.
