Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and starring Will Smith, Aunjanue Ellis, Jon Bernthal, Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton, the film El método Williams (King Rochard) has opened in Spain with a resounding box-office success.
A biopic about Richard Williams, an unavailable father who helped raise two of the most extraordinary sportswomen of all time, two athletes who would end up making history in the sport of tennis. Richard had a clear vision for his daughters’ futures, and using risky and unconventional methods, he crafted a plan that would take Venus and Serena Williams from the streets of Compton, California, to the pinnacle of the sport, making them tennis icons.
You don’t have to be a lover of the sport of racquetball to see El método Williams (King Richard). The film exposes the suitability or otherwise of certain teaching methods, even if they later lead to the intended goal. Likewise, it is always a pleasure as a spectator to see Will Smith act, in the immense variety of roles he has played since the series that saw him triumph in the 90s of the last century, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
