  • Luca Guadagnino's latest film "Challengers" starring Zendaya is a sensual tennis game of love and lust. This might be his best movie to date, so let's talk about it.

    Walking out of the theater felt like stepping off a roller coaster for this one

    The editing and the music really made this move so much more intriguing that it would have been. I think the vague intentions of the characters really keep you on the edge of the seat because they all had blurred morals. I was actually super impressed with this movie it was so fun to watch! Altho I think the nudity parts didn’t really add to the story lol

      I turned away for some of the nudity and prolonged kissing scenes 😂

      Maybe It was to show how Patrick was comfortable in those environments, but yeah, it lasted too long

    Great review. I’ve been thinking about the subliminal messaging projected in the film and I think you did an excellent job of highlighting the nuances that have made this movie great.

    I loved this film! Athletes are psycho and Tashi was crazy

    As a tennis player I'd say this is a love triangle film rather than a tennis film. They could have used another individual sport in tennis's place and the movie would have worked.

    • @f1mbultyr

      Sure, but you need that one on one, so what other sports would do that? The only ones I can think of would be table tennis or badminton. So two lesser versions of tennis. Tennis is the best option.

    I have watched this movie already. It's a great movie. They are all amazing. But I have a question ? Is it really Sendaya who's on the top of Josh & Mike ? And is it really her kissing this two guys ? I can't really imagine if it's her.

    I thought the use of music was kind of horrendous. And the cinematagraphy near the end was laughable. Looked like something from Space Jam lol. Best thing about the movie was the acting IMO. Couldn’t disagree more about the editing

      You didn’t get it. That’s ok! But it was perfect

    • @123rockfan

      @@toladep “you didn’t get it” is seriously the laziest argument ever. I just have to assume you’re either trolling me or baiting me into getting angry lol. I didn’t have a problem with the story or the themes of the film. I simply disliked the execution of it. His style definitely isn’t for me.

      The use of music is what made this movie incredible to me. Without it, it wouldn’t have worked and that’s why i think defining this movie a masterpiece is an exaggeration.
      The music suits this movie perfectly: tennis and techno have the same relentless rhythm, and the movie itself tells you that everything in it is about tennis. That explains the use of techno music in dialogue scenes, which are in fact seen as tennis matches themselves.
      The time jumps remember a tennis match themselves too, considering how the challenger final’s different moments reflect the relationship between the two players and Tashi.
      It’s surely one of the best movies of this year so far, but that last scene is both great and terrible (certain choices left me dubious, like the POV of the tennis ball… which is actually kinda cool but i absolutely hate the last upward movement). Having this said, this is basically the only major flaw i found.

    The ending was idiotic.
