Yesterday I watched...

Challengers (2024)

Two high school tennis players are smitten with a high school tennis phenom. We flash forward to her being married, and then a series of flashbacks involving competition, sexual tension, dating, and more competition among all the leads. They all have great chemistry with one another.

By the way, just the act of eating is this film is filled with implied sexuality. Also it made me want to have a churro.

It's a film about tennis, relationships, and control.

Features a mostly techno soundtrack that thumps along with the on court and off court action.

Be aware this is an arthouse type film, and will not likely appeal to everyone. Me, however, I enjoyed it. It definitely spurred conversation afterwards.

Stars Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist

Directed by Luca Guadagnino
