Unexpectedly Captivating and Fun to Watch
Challengers was such a pleasant surprise! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the plot pulled me in, and the characters had great chemistry. The storyline has a mix of sports, drama, and romance, which kept it interesting without feeling overdone. It’s not just about tennis—it’s about relationships and ambition, making it relatable even if you’re not a sports fan. If you’re looking for something fresh and entertaining for a movie night, this one is worth the watch!

A disgusting Smut Movie
Spoilers in here.Overall, its a nasty and mean film that glorifies infidelity and has three extremely unlikable main characters at its center. Zendaya is attempted to be passed off as the most desirable woman in the world when she stills looks like someone who graduated from high school last year. Meanwhile, two grown ass men creepily spend their entire youth pining, fawning, and fighting over here even though she carries herself as a selfish, judgmental, rich, cold-hearted, pompous snake who is only motivated by her own desire for glory that she cannot fulfill due to an injury. Like what is there that is so desirable in her again? Also, neither of these two men (both of whom are professional athletes) seem to be able to think of another woman instead of her when they would both probably have fans throwing themselves at them.The film also glorifies toxicity, seemingly think it is normal for a man to be blamed for his girlfriend suffering from a random sports injury because they argued a few hours earlier. This leads to them treating him with absolute hatred and vitriol for the rest of their lives. I’m sorry, this is normal behavior how?For some reason, I kept watching until the end where the film reaches a conclusion even more disappointing than I could have imagined (his wife is literally rewarded for cheating with his old friend). Like smh. Big yikes.

A Dynamic and Cinematic Character Study
I must admit that I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. Challengers (2024) impressively avoids being a boring and typical melodrama. The story of a love triangle (between a rather obnoxious trio) set in the world of professional tennis with three different competitive personalities and three career paths. Engagingly told in a fractured narrative that I felt enhanced the drama, and filmed with an aggressively stylish cinematic approach. The direction is solid, and acting well done, but it is the dynamic, creative cinematography, flashy editing, and the driving score, that make the film exciting and memorable, with the look and feel of a music video or artistic commercial. As with most of Luca Guadagnino’s work, this may be an acquired taste. I enjoyed this film more than the director’s other work, though I do recommend I Am Love (2010), A Bigger Splash (2015), and even the Suspira (2018) “remake”. Also recommended: Past Lives (2023) and Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers (2003). Unfortunately, this Blu-ray is completely lacking in extra content- some insight from the director and cast would have been nice.

Subpar Movie Lacking Plot. Great Score. Zendaya is Stylish (as Always)
Honestly, I was really disappointed with Challengers. The film carries this overwhelming sense of self-importance, and the “up to your interpretation” ending felt more like a cop-out than a clever twist. I had already spoiled the plot for myself by reading about it online, so I knew what I was getting into, but I still held out hope that the experience of actually watching it might redeem the story. It didn’t.I rented this movie for $6, and thank goodness I didn’t spend the full $20 to rent it because I would’ve been even more frustrated. Zendaya, as usual, delivers a solid performance, but it’s painfully obvious that the two male co-leads can’t keep up with her. There’s a noticeable imbalance in their performances, which drags the film down even further.Visually, I’ll give the movie credit. The cinematography and overall aesthetic are beautiful, but the overuse of slow-motion shots makes it feel like it’s trying too hard to be a Zack Snyder film. It completely disrupts the pacing and adds unnecessary drama to scenes that really don’t need it. And, of course, as can be expected, the Reznor score doesn’t miss.The film’s tone shifts awkwardly between trying to be a high-brow sports drama and a romantic thriller, but it doesn’t fully commit to either. The stakes never feel high enough, and the characters, especially the two male leads, feel underdeveloped. I found myself not really caring about any of them by the time the movie reached its ambiguous conclusion. Rom-Thrills are so rare these days, it really had the concept of the film on its face genuinely had the potential to give the genre a second wind.In the end, Challengers just doesn’t deliver. It’s a beautifully shot film, but the story is underwhelming, the pacing is off, and the performances are uneven. If you’re a Zendaya fan, maybe it’s worth a watch just for her, but don’t expect much beyond that.

Essential Play-off
In “Challengers” an essence is followed, driving competitiveness between three people: Patrick Zweig(Josh O’Connor), Art Donaldson(Mike Faist), and Tashi Duncan(Zendaya). “Challengers” is a movie that clearly portrays lives that are drawn into a specific propulsion. The viewer is subscribed to watching various points in time being shifted to describe the attitudes of three tennis players. There is resulting unfaithfulness, and jealousies that transpire, loosely, from the center of an essential motivation; a desire for a state aquired only in uninterrupted exchanges in a tennis match. Patrick, Art, and Tashi share a bond, and realize intimate affairs together. The center, the magnet, the undescernible dynamic, both intellectual and erotic, is never actually defined as a material emotion or specific idea. To the watcher of the drama, also, never has the interest of tennis been more impressive. The excitement is excellent as some great action montages, between rival tennis prodigies, Art and Patrick, are played out. There are specific matches that are revisited, and likewise, not only is the world of tennis culture inspected, but these instances of show downs have triangular face-off implications. Patrick’s professional life after Stanford University is the lifestyle of hashing out money from tournaments such as the New Rochelle Challenger. Even this small scale maneuvering has Patrick mingling with parking place retreats. Clubs garlanded in moody wooded tracts of tree islands. Josh O’Connor as Patrick, in small talk is continually smiling about the game of life. He has menial schemes, things going on in mobility, and he is unshaven. Tashi Duncan is like the healer to a wealthy household that is resorted by her reign of casual influence. Zendaya as Tashi Duncan is an activist for priorities and experiential longings. After her Stanford Women’s Tennis Team success, Tashi continues her seduction in coaching-promulgator of obtaining the perfect tennis game. Art Donaldson is the archetypal blond youth who comes from family and participates in ivy League sports. Mike Faist playing Art, is spot on at being high class in his elevation of personable and considerate mannerisms and sociability. Art really is an ATP(Association of Tennis Professionals) tourer, seeking a U.S. Open win to achieve a grand slam. The film “Challengers” has the resonance of a current, and the atmosphere of attitude contests is given non-linearly. This brings us to the New Rochelle Challenger before the big U.S. Open Men’s tournament. There is rhythmic static music and a dual consumption of watching Tashi studying her students describing a metamorphosis. The collage of tennis tournament locales and the intense burning daytime avarice is like a hedonist paradise; the sport of tennis is a ritual, only rarely to achieve the sparring state. The exclusivity of this height is celebrated in private concert, overseen by Tashi. “Challengers” is a movie that connects one to kinetic motives but it’s isolated, encoded, green leaf decadence starts to glow commonplaceness as we move towards the end.

Phenomenal! Should be part of the Criterion Collection!
This is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched! I don’t even like tennis, yet I loved this movie for several reasons: 1. Luca Guadagnino is a fantastic director. 2. The acting by all 3 leads was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! 3. The cinematography and visual effects, like the scene where the tennis ball acts as the camera, were nothing like I’d ever seen. As the story progressed, I could feel my heart beating faster, my palms getting sweaty, and my breathing quickening because the cinematography coupled with the music and sounds, as well as the actors’ intensity, created the anxious feeling that the stakes were high for me as well. I IMMEDIATELY rewatched the movie, and it was just as good if not better because I picked up on the little things I had missed during the first viewing.I consider myself a cinephile and have watched literally thousands of movies, but I only own a handful in comparison because the ones I purchase have to be what I believe are or will be classics. I 100% believe that Challengers (I hate we can’t italicize or underline movie and book titles.) will become a classic. It should be added to the Criterion Collection along with Call Me by Your Name, another film by the auteur Luca Guadagnino! I highly recommend watching this movie many times on the biggest screen you have with the volume cranked up!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
