Venus and Serena 2012

Venus And Serena     Based on their lives during 2011 and a profile of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams.  During this year, Venus was diagnosed with autoimmune disease and Serena had a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.  Explores their lives, careers, approaches to the game, training, temperaments and how others perceive them.  Includes highlights of some of their important matches.  
     I don’t feel I know very much more about them after watching this film.  It doesn’t go very much into their lives except as tennis professionals and some information about their family.  This is not a personal portrait of two world-famous women but only about two incredible athletes.  3* (This movie is OK)

100 min, Doc directed by Michelle Major, Maiken Baird with Billie Jean King, John McEnroe, Richard Williams, Anna Wintour, Bill Clinton, Arnon Milchan.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 5.6 out of 10, 77% critic 71% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
