Julia S @Julia_S Dec 12 Venus and Serena (2012) is a really eye-opening documentary that shows just how much the Williams sisters had to push through both on and off the court. As someone who grew up playing tennis and looking up to them, it was really interesting getting a closer look at the racism, sexism, and unfair double standards they dealt with while still dominating the sport. Moments like Venus breaking barriers at Wimbledon or Serena getting booed at Indian Wells really highlight how much strength it took to keep going. Overall, it’s an inspiring, honest film that celebrates their talent, their bond, and the impact they’ve had on sports and culture.

I do feel that adding the family drama in the film was a bit unnecessary and I could have done without it. But I was pleases seeing powerful female athletes on the screen.

I was surprised to learn about the various dynamics in the relationship between the twins and their father. Additionally, the film illustrates how they were able to overcome the racism and economic disadvantage they faced. Despite their challenges, including health struggles, the documentary highlights their resilience and advocacy to create change in society and inspire others.

This is a pleasant enough documentary that covers their meteoric rise in tennis and takes a peek at their private lives. However, I wish the filmmakers had dug a little deeper at finding out what makes these two incredible athletes tick.
