King Richard press conference: Will Smith, Serena Williams, Venus Williams 

"the same time you spent doubting is the same time you can spend believing in you." - Venus Williams

This was so well done. Please give Mr. Smith his Oscar.

The Williams family had a plan, not a dream. And every single family member bought in and WORKED HARD to implement that plan. That’s the story I took away from this absolutely remarkable film.

The interviewer is incredible...she is genuinely curious; I love her inquiries

Salute to Mr. Richard Williams for defying the odds and raising phenomenal champions that have open doors to women of color.

Aunjanue Ellis ALWAYS knows the assignments!!! Glad she's getting long overdue recognition!

Now that’s how an interview should be conducted. Well thought out questions, contained fandom, allowing questions to be answered, asking questions of depth. Salute to ALL.

I am in love with the Williams sisters as human beings. They are Royal!

“Mr. Will” made me comfortable. Respecting your elders- let’s spread this world over. Love Mr. Richard Williams- he says what he means and means what he says. Bravooooo

That old interview that will is talking about with Venus and her father is the best!!! Venus was beyond confident and so unbothered by that interviewer. I love just rewatching it.

This is the power of a father who is PRESENT!!! and true meaning of a what family truly means.

The interviewer is ALWAYS so good. I am happy she is booking big interviews now. Congrats to her.

This interviewer is amazingly skilled!!!! Great job!

Please add the name of the interviewer to this post. She was SPECTACULAR!

Richard did something amazing. Many were just closing doors, but this man open them for his daughters. Give respect were it's due.

This is a brilliant and beautiful interview. Also I could listen to the interviewer interview anyone anywhere all day. She is just exceptional!

Great interview. Its wonderful that this movie is done while Richard Williams is alive and he can be truly honoured in his lifetime.

These powerful women are absolutely inspiring

I am crying ready! Oscars written all over it!

This is such an insightful interview. I can't wait to see the movie.

Arjune Ellis brings it no matter what role she plays. I can't wait to see this because of her.

The sisters all seem very humble. Wonderful cast as well

One of the best, well rounded interviews I’ve enjoyed. The interviewer is skilled, inclusive, respectful and enlightening. She’s going places! I feel as if I’ve watched the movie already. I will see it just based on this interview.

Venus williams sounds so eloquent I can listen to her talking all days.

I remember that interview like it was yesterday. I was so proud of him, and I have always been proud of Venus. She was my initial connection to the sisters. I would sit up to watch all of her matches. She always protected Serena when they were young. Some people forget what an amazing tennis player she was and how much of a lion she was for her sister.

This was a great interview and I’m excited to see the movie.Will always lighten up any room with laughter😁. Also, listening to Will is inspirational. Venus and Serena are two phenomenal Ladies‼️Congratulations to their parents for raising beautiful and intelligent daughters.

this is the best way to sell a film , the interview is brilliant .

I dont know any of them personally but my eyes are filled with tears each time i'm watching the movie or the highlights; i really dont know why its so emotional to me personally ...........its so wonderful

I watched the movie King Richard last week. Actually watched it 3 times in one week. It was probably one of the best movies ever! Will Smith and the 2 girls and their acting mom should all get an academy award for their acting! It was so powerful and encouraging! Life changing movie for sure!

Will Smith without his moustache looks exactly like his character in Shark Tale. I solved the mystery. LOL!

So loved this interview. Glad to know that the sister's were on set for the families interest. The girls playing Venus and Serena are humble also.

I was thinking the same thing. She had great questions, engaged all participants, really listened to their responses without needlessly interrupting and wrapped the interview at the most appropriate moment. Excellent job!

Growing up I wished I had a father like Richard Williams.

I'm looking forward to seeing this film. Huge fan of Venus and Serena!

The interviewer was phenomenal!! Well thought through questions and she highlighted everyone in the group. I absolutely enjoyed this interview and plan to see “King Richard”!

😲 Oh-WOW, GREAT Interviewer, Great Job Interviewing These Wonderful People, Great Interview, GREAT Cast, Great Place, Great Backdrop, GREAT Man of The Game Is King 👑 Richard!!!! I Knew Sir. Richard Williams was a Great Man from The Time I 1st Seen Him years & YEARS Ago!!! I've ALWAYS Rooted & Cheered for The Williams Family & Was Very VERY Happy To See The Two BLACK QUEENS 👸👸 Dominant Tennis 🎾🎾 In The Climate years that they started in.... Even Back THEN I Thought Mr. Williams was a GENIUSES of a man & a hell of a GOOD Father!!! 🤴 King-Richard Spoke The TRUTH about The Racism in Tennis, The Media Portrayal of HIM & his BEAUTIFUL Daughters!!! It was horrendous to me what all Mr. Richard Williams endured as a GOOD-MAN, as a Caring-Father, & as a Professional.... I Remember that It was OUTRAGEOUS to say the least 😠😡🤬.... I can remember how the Reports made fun of him & his daughters & saying all kind of hideous things.... I Even Remember how Venus & Serena wasn't getting their proper endorsements nor The DEALS that they should have been getting in the beginning!!! Because they were BLACK GIRLS.... I remember how they used to make fun of their hair & say all kind of ungodly crap!!! It made me so upset 🤬😡😠😡🤬 These were children at that particular time! But to me they were BEAUTIFUL they were TALENTED they were Well-Behaved, Well-Dressed & it just still didn't matter to the haters in the Media industry! That WASN'T RIGHT.... I remember Sir King Richard Williams fight for His Children Wife Family & Equality the whole step of the way!!! In My Eyes 👀 They're BLACK Excellence Royalty & Power from the 1st Time they stepped on the seen!!! I've ALWAYS LOVED what I've seen of the family throughout the years!!! I'm So Happy For Them ALL...!!!❣️❣️❣️ I've ALWAYS Wanted To Personally interact with the whole Beautiful Williams Family 🤴👸👸👸👸👸👸🤴 ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thank You'll For Showcasing 🤴 KING-RICHARD Williams within HIS Great Movements Throughout The Earlier Days of Showcasing HIS Greatest Accomplishments Throughout ❣️ 🙏 AMAN 🙏 AMAN 🙏 Finally 👏 🤴👸👸👸 P.S. I PRAY That ALL of KING 👑 Richard Williams Family READ This 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 AMAN 🙏🙏🙏🙏❣️ ✌️

All I will say is, start writing your Oscar, Golden Globe, NAACP speeches!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 EXCELLENT INTERVIEW‼️‼️ I do have one question, how does Richard Williams feel about this movie??

This has to be one of the best authentic interviews I've seen in so long. The interviewer was absolutely great, her questions were effortless. I would have been a nervous Nancy with such an undertaking. Great job!

I’m sooooooo glad their big sis Isha Price was there to make sure thing were point in the real and truthful direction.👩‍👧‍👧👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛👊👍👌☝🏾💪✍🏾

This interviewer is absolutely amazing. She did a fantastic job

Excellent production, I couldn't stop tearing up during this film. A masterpiece of a movie. Congrats to all involved, blessings.

I❤how this interview was filmed on a Tennis court🎾

WOW! OH WOW! This is so TOUCHING… EAGER… JUST EAGER TO SEE THIS MOVIE…. GOD BLESS THE CAST.. PORTRAYAL OF VENUS .. AND THE HEART OF VENUS AS SINCERELY EXPRESSED BY THE ACTRESS IS SO REAL AND TRUE… BLESSINGS..🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯

What an awesome movie. Richard was an absolute genius in dealing and training these young ladies. And yes it was a dream, but dreams do need plans. Stunning Job.

What a great interview! I can’t wait to see the movie!

I just saw the movie and it was one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen! So powerful! Every single one of you! Power!!

Big up to the Interviewer. Big up to the cast. Those young ladies spoke so well and expressed themselves so effortlessly. Can’t wait to see the film. 41 minutes well spent watching this.

Legends and the blueprint of women's tennis. These girls changed the game and were untouchable in their primes. I'm so glad their story will be told because we have loved them in the good and bad times. Forever #1 and #2 in my eyes....I can't wait to see this film.

I felt that the movie was AWESOME! I applaud the cast and crew for delivering this gift to the world.

Can't say enough good things about how thid Interview had been conducted . With such Grace & Professionalism. Where have they been hiding her? I hope to see more Interviews from this Interviewer.

Conversations about process and intention in art are absolutely invaluable

This was a great interview and I can’t wait for the movie. I.can see this movie winning some awards. What a way to honor Richard Williams and his family. 💯💯💯✔️✔️✔️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful Interview as well as family. Will and Serena and Venus GOD BLESS YOU All !!!📖❤

The interviewer did an excellent job with asking the panelists great Family questions!

I listened to Richard in an interview conducted back when He released His book. And listening to Him was impressive. His life lessons came from His Mother. He would speak about Her wisdom and Her lessons to Him for preparedness. All I thought was, 'how awesome is that Woman who taught Her son to weather the storms of People and Oppression!' Then I see how He prepared His Children for battle, but on the Courts of Sport and Success! And I listened to Richard know that He just had to not give in to the naysayers. But instead to Hold Fast and keep His Family Protected and Close. So close that Family Members ARE the Best Friends! It TRULY TRULY is about Integrity. And seeing that Family ride the waves after Success came, before this movie, makes me feel both Honored and Excited to see it. I'm glad that this cast has won the approval of these two World Class WomenLeader Athletes.

Greatest interview ever. It has so much HEART! May God bless you all for putting family first when the world is trying to destroy the foundation of how God has ordain creation to progress. Love is Supreme!

I can't believe how tuned in I am with this interview. By far one if the best! The interviewer is amazing. The entire group did an awesome job. Love Serena. Such a beautiful woman

This is an incredible interview. Venus and Serena are the greatest. I have so much respect for Mr. Richard Williams. I bought the DVD "Raising Tennis Aces" years ago. Mr. Williams has been one of my favorite people ever since. It was interesting that Will Smith talked about the time Mr. Williams checked the reporter, when he was interviewing Venus. That interview was also one of the things that made me admire him even more. Can't wait to see the movie.

This movie deserves an Oscar. It was amazing

" Aligning with your children rather than directing your children" Well said, Mr. Smith!

For those asking where is Mr. Williams - Serena did an interview saying he wasn't ready to see the movie yet and he did not want to be in the spot light nor do interviews. I know there are a lot of interviews to keep up with but it has been address. Will even asked them do they think he will watch it and she said if he did they might not know. Just saying for those that didn't know.

This was an AMAZING interview. The questions were so thought out and forced everyone to answer from a place most interviewers don't hit. I truly enjoyed watching this and am looking forward to seeing the movie.

WONDERFUL INTERVIEW!!! Kudos to the interviewer! 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

Nuance, that's what it sounds like this film embodied. I can't think of one single person that I liked more. Everyone was equally amazing. Can't wait to see the film! Oh, and let's not forget the boss of all titles...KING RICHARD!

What an interview! It captured the energy, almost poetically. I actually listened. Beautiful!

The interviewer was amazing. She set the tone of this wonderful interview and the time flew by. Those two ladies are super talented and embody our queens Serena and Venus Williams.

Can’t wait to see this film on HBO Max!! I hope this film finally gets Will his Oscar that he’s due.

I absolutely loved the movie. I was sitting in the theater thinking Wow what just happened. I will definitely watch again because there were so many huge moments.

Will you did a good job expressing the character of these two amazing girls and Venice and Serena always look up to your accomplishment and your determination to go against the wave that was meant to defeat you and rise above it God continue blessing ... I believe the sky is the limit for this film look forward to watching it with my Wife 39yrs of marriage and parents of 4 Adult Sons and daughter ;)

It's an epic interview. He shut down that reporter. She was smiling.

Excellent interview, fantastic interviewer, and informative questions! This should be on public television for everyone to watch.

This is the best movie I've seen in such a long time

The film and cast grabbed my heart so much that I wanted to watch it again. The film took me back to joy and excitement that was felt in America among black and African American families, when the Williams sisters were the highlight of the headlines and social media. It captured Venus’ and Serena’ confidence and passion. But one of the greatest messages in the film, I believe we can all take is to have a vision for self and family, plan and write it out, work together as a family, commit and stay focus while remaining humble especially in every victory. Also, don’t get so caught up on winning that you forget to live. ❤️💐❤️👏🏾❤️⭐️

Of course it's about love and strength in the black family.

Damn that dude behind will is really holding his “ticks” or “studded” back well! U don’t have to do that sir let em’ out ppl still respect and love you no matter what! But u did do a great job! Love to all 💕

So good to watch an interview where everyone is pleasant. You can tell everyone had a great time on set.

AMAZING INTERVIEW! 🙌🏾

I’ve never heard of the host in my life and I sensed that she was a newbie at her job and honestly I had preconceived negative ideas about her job, but after watching this WHOLE interview without a break, this host did really REALLY well...she did her researched, gave everyone a chance to speak and transitioned each conversation so well and effortless...she’s definitely gonna get booked by everyone after this...good job

Will will finally have his Oscar! An emotionally compelling & inspiring film. The acting by the entire ensemble was superb.

Who else saw that leg tap to the interviewer, that's a sign "you did great girl". The interviewer did a dope job

The best of everything all in one movie😍 I can't wait to watch💃💃💃 I really love the Williams family❤❤❤

With all due respect to Will Smith. The performance is given by Aunjanue Ellis. That is what everyone seems to be missing. Her performance is the best! When she walked across the street to that woman's house and knocked on the door. When she worked with Serena, and then when she told Richard what was up when it came to Venus wanting to play. You have to give her the props on this film. She was the best performance!

Did y'all see how simply and skillfully these parents kept their Family's amazing story for The Family. King was in negotiations with All them to come "managers." They built their Family's story through their literal Blood, Sweat, Tears and through the fear. Amazing story of the negotiation technique, "know when to hold dem."

We just saw the movie and it was amazing. What a great family love and support story. I loved the fight to succeed.

We need more movies like this instead of shooting, killings & walking dead zombies. More role models for the younger generation to be interested in something besides being on their phones 24/7 ... Well some adults are just as bad SMH

I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Everyone is so humble

Looking forward to seeing the movie; I really love this family. They are so inspiring.

I got CHILLS when Will talked about Richard being a lion for his girls and how that interview changed his parenting. Whew!!

They really paid close attention to details. Even down to the grip and basic strokes that Venus and Serena use. The two handed backhand they got it correct. Both Venus and Serena use a right hand western beforehand grip. not many players have this backhand. Michael Chang and Marcelo Rios both used this stroke but not many do. They also paid attention to the service grip not being a continental grip or even slightly eastern as almost all pro players use. Both Venus and Serena use a slightly west of Continental. Venus starts her service motions with the wrist slightly broke because she gets her power from her wrist at the top. If she wants to kick the serve then she tosses slightly towards her left side and comes across the ball inside our and up as she snaps her wrist into her serve. This also is rare feature and the actor players and film makers got that exactly correct!!! Like right on the money. I remember coaching a girl back in 1990 or 91. She was paying a USTA even in LA and I remember seeing little Venus there playing on one of the courts. I remember she used a Wilson profile racket. I was using the same racket so that is why I noticed, however, the film crew made sure Venus was using a Wilson profile early on. then the scene with Vic Braden. My pop back in 1975 when I was 9 years old was a member of coto de caza club which is where Vic Braden was the teaching pro back then. Anyway film was fantastic and attention to detail was obvious. I've always had a crush on Venus. Her personality is so calm. She so smart and smiles easily not to mention she is so pretty. Hit me up Venus.

The movie was sooooo good y'all. So much passion, HEART, inspiration & fun!

Wow, what an amazing group of family members lead by The Williams Parents. Venus and Serena are beyond phenomenal as both people and in the world of Tennis! What an honor for us all! The actors and actress are award winning worthy. Will Smith, early Congratulations on the Oscar in 2022. Richard William's thank you and your diligent wife!! God Bless you all!

I just like how down to earth & grateful every one on this cast is about having had the opportunity to be in this movie. They're all inspiring & I can't wait to see the film for myself.

Not even watched it and I’m emotional 😭 Can’t wait…

I wish Netflix would have made this a Series Because there is So Much Move to Tell But I love this Movie Will You the Man ✊🏿💞

Oh my gosh, I watched this movie and kept thinking that the coach looked familiar. I didn't make the connection with The Walking Dead 🤦🏾‍♀️ I enjoyed it so muchore than I thought I would. The whole cast are amazing, and Will Smith is phenomenal 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

Wow such a wonderful interview.. yesss that interviwer asked excellent questions and then she let them speak.. wow 👏

We watched this BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING story tonight/Valentine's Day! Thank you to every single one for this epic movie!

All the sisters and the mama look flawless. I’m so proud of them.

I can't wait to see this movie! I love and Admire the sisters so much I know I will be full of emotion to the point of tears when I see it.
