Challengers

The story, acting, and score are all excellent. But man, the pacing is absolutely terrible. You would assume that once you find out that we are learning about these three characters' history, you readjust yourself and the rest flies by. However, that's not the case. The non-linear storytelling is jagged, intrusive, and slows the entire movie down. It's interesting to learn about the characters, but it feels like it takes forever. This 2-hour movie feels like 3 hours. As for each of the characters, none of them are really characters you want to root for, and I really liked that. Obviously, you can peel back the layer and see how Tashi is making them play for her, which is why I dislike her the most This is also so incredibly horny. I was not expecting that, and didn't particularly enjoy it
