While I prefer watching and following men's professional tennis over women's, the Williams sisters are a definite exception and I have always found them fascinating. 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.

another great documentary of tge Williams' Sisters

Richard Williams is a tosser!

As a tennis player and fan, this movie is good.

I enjoyed the fieriness of these ladies. Explains their utter domination of the sport.

Mostly surface documentary about the Williams sisters. Some mildly interesting behind the scenes stuff, and I love Oracene more than ever, but overall, not as in-depth or as interesting as it ought to be.

AMAZING!!! Loved hearing and seeing their story, made me love them even more!!

interesting for tennis fans. im not one.

Finally watched this today on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Loved it. Not exactly an expose, but what a celebration of two incredible athletes. The sisters-besties parts were fantastic.

Really good and very inspirational

Good documentary about the life and hard work of two great tennis players ...and eventual success!

An amazing story on so many levels.

It's hardly any kind of documenting masterpiece, but as a fan of the Williams sisters and as a tennis fan, I thought this was both informative and entertaining. I was rarely ever bored, and the documentary kept up a great pace, switching between their initial training and the challenges they have been facing recently. I wish there had been more footage and time dedicated to their teenage years, but regardless, it's still a balanced and highly entertaining documentary that any tennis player should watch.

Venus and Serena is a thorough documentary on the two Williams sisters who have changed the face, image and sport of tennis forever (plus some). The first-time directing duo, Maiken Baird and Michelle Major, wisely decide against focusing their film on just one sole facet of the divinely talented sisters' lives or careers on the court(s) -- be that (1) the sheer number of un-matched wins throughout their careers; (2) their visionary and unorthodox father-slash-coach, Richard Williams, who had decided one day long ago that his two daughters were going to play tennis (unbeknownst to the girls); or (3) the girls' rise to the unlikely ranks of world champions in a predominately country club sport that was rather unwelcoming to two young African American girls from Compton. The viewer is reminded of many of the two sisters' accomplishments ranging from early wins at clubs or school events to their high profile victories at prestigious international ones such as Wimbledon, the summer Olympic Games (from 2000 to 2012!), and the British and the Australian Opens. The documentary was partially filmed during the 2011 tennis season which was a year neither athlete was at the top of her game as they are both aging -- for the most part, the grueling sport of tennis is a younger person's game although the sisters are still feared by nearly everybody facing them on the opposite side of a net -- and both had possible career-threatening health problems. But as all have learned who have faced off against one of the Williams sisters, they should NEVER be counted out. The sisters are remarkable athletes and their accomplishments are awe-inspiring and many ... which in turn makes a simply ordinary documentary -- which is perfectly fine, though -- seem slightly inadequate.

Life of two athletes of whose biggest obstacle and biggest triumph was each other.

Review: This is a great documentary about the Williams sisters who have taken the tennis world by storm. The director done a good job, giving you an insight into the past and present life of the sisters and there family. You get to see many different aspects of there life's which has been an up and downhill struggle. You don't have to be into tennis to enjoy the movie because there is something for everyone and you can't help feeling emotional about there journey. Enjoyable! Round-Up: I don't know why this movie wasn't released early last year because the people who made the film, had followed the Williams from 2011 to early 2012. Anyway, as a black man, I can't help thinking how much the sisters must have inspired other black athletes around the world. It's a true rags to riches story which will definitely make you look at the Williams sisters in a different way. I recommend this movie to people who have followed the Williams terrific career and domination of the tennis world. 3/5

"Venus and Serena" is a well-produced documentary with the vintage footage we would expect. When you have folks like President Clinton, Anna Wintour and John McEnroe commenting throughout, not to mention personal, uncensored commentaries from the sisters themselves, this will be a film which will garner a great deal of play. There is a good deal of self-promotion, but you can't take away the stellar careers of these aging sisters Sports injuries have taken their toll, but the footage of their drive to encourage the next generation of Black athletes can do nothing but impress. A tad too commercial for our taste, but still a fine film for those who arer interested in the Williams sisters in particular, in tennis and sports in general.

Fantastic doc. Go see it!

Great film that made you understand the Williams sister more and what they had to struggle with in tennis whether it be race or injury

really good profile of some really great champions nice to see the back room stuff that you don't get to see normally.
