Challengers
Fair to say real horny movies are back!
Probably only movie that made tennis exciting to me and I've seen few... The camera action is mind-blowing along with the music. The structure of movie is literally a game match it's insane. Cinematography is so genius as well. However I kinda wish they were two gradings or timelines not every damn "x years later/after" ugh...
Zendaya as Tashi absolutely nailed it! She should play more villains. She was a guru, mother, coach, champion, femme fatale and more in one. "Foreshadowing" with the scar and friendship bransolet from Lily was genius. Every her one liner was just the best. She can slap, spill and roast anyone and still be considered Jesus..
Mike and Art relationship is craziest I've seen on screen since "y tu mamá también". They grew up together, dated the same woman and um kissed and jerk off together phew... The sauna and churro scene were the best along side final set match of course. Gee finally someone put Josh O'Connor and Mike Feist in 'almost' modern period movie. I hope they get their flowers.
Back to tennis which is 4th in the trouple actually. Calling it relationship since first Tashi meeting - pure genius. It was well shown through every stage of the movie, every act or should I call set. The final match was euphoric experience. The POV, be the ball, from top, from bottom, bird view and more. I N S A N E work... I've never had an adrenaline from watching sport before.. that final "C'MON" was truly life-changing and literally changed the game.
Side note: I totally get product placement but I think they kinda broke apple rule lol
