Shout by Miguel A. Reina

King Richard 2021

An authorized biopic is always a double-edged sword, even more so if it highlights a kind of messianic plan of the father rather than his daughters' own values. Because, after all, the Williams sisters are to their credit, as black women in a primarily white sport. A film designed in the shape of the Oscar, it contributes little to the staging of tennis and runs for about two and a half hours totally unnecessary.

@miguelreina wow, harsh review but it rings extremely true. I could not have said it better myself. I tried to like it more, then tried to like it less, and I'm still ambivalent on how I feel about it
