The bananas and churros made me understand this film and it’s motive lmao. It’s really interesting though cause people can interpret and understand scenes with a different perspective. Some can love and hate the characters. This movie was so interesting and honestly one of my favorite right now.
I also really liked how the tennis matches are used as a Metaphore for how the relation is between these three. The score is probably my new go-to music list in the gym. Very energetic and works in a sport movie, but also works for tension.
Jonathan from TheFilmDrunk the type of guy to say “ohh butterfingers” when he drops something

Nice to hear Luca is continuing with Trent and Atticus.
Bones and All was so underrated in all aspects including the score!
I’m usually pretty picky with what I consider acceptable film tennis bc it’s so easy for it to look wrong or stuff or awkward, but I thought they did really well in this movie
apart from the volley-off in the final scene lol
LETS GO ZENDAYA
I just want this to end up being gay
this is my most anticipated of the year and i'm even more hyped after your review. let's fucking go guadagnino nation!!!
Thank you for reviewing without spoiling, but do think this movie is Oscar worthy? Or any of them will nominated? I know it's too early 😅, I'm glad Mike Faist is getting in to major role i think people have no idea how talented and underrated he is.
Call me by your Name and Bones and All are two of the best Movies in the last 5-10 Years
It really does have good kissing!!! And churros. I liked seeing both guys move as one, showing how close they were ❤
Great review! Yes, they did a wonderful job with the tennis parts. I now wish all tennis matches had techno music playing. That R rating is very much deserved.
You ARE that attractive.
Bro wants to be part of the Uggo community so bad. Lol, we've rejected his application so many times.
@@pgwrks4149dunno why he keeps sending it in tbh
Loved this! Fun music, beautiful cinematography, I was smiling and wanting to dance the entire time, while it was weird to see Zendaya doing such a harsh characterization of a very dominating woman her younger version almost crying on a tree made me emotional, I'm so in awe with her talent, this movie made me love her. The boys were amazing also, I think it was super fun and definitely worth watching.
I've been waiting for this movie since 2023 , Im glad that you have a great review , do you think this is an Oscar worthy movie? or Oscar worthy performance? Anyway, I'm so happy for Mike Faist for getting major role , people have no idea how talented and underrated he is. Love him in West Side Story. I'm also excited to see Z and Josh together in a movie , It's so surprising because It's not even in my bingo card that they gonna work together in one movie. ..In Luca we trust!
I cant wait to see this movie
No one seems to understand what this movie is. It has nothing to do with tennis, and it is not a love triangle in the way that people typically think about a love triangle. What it really is is an allegory for what happens in the psyche of one man during the course of his 13 year relationship with the woman who becomes his wife. It's about what happens when women and men reject the darker side of men's psyches and the need to reintegrate that darker side so that it is, ideally, in perfect balance with the lighter side. It is the antidote to the idea that a man can be only an "alpha" or a "beta" but not both, and it identifies a new version of masculinity for men to strive for, one that is a balanced whole that benefits both men and women. Tennis is the central metaphor, and everything in the movie is a symbol. Pay attention to hair color and clothing. Ask yourself which side of the man dominates at what point in the relationship. What does the use of food as a symbol tell you about the balance between the two sides? If "real tennis" is, as Zendaya's character says, "a relationship," then ask yourself if after she's injured her desire to play again is actually a desire to reengage with the relationship and why she's so frustrated in that new version of the relationship. Why a tournament halfway between the amateurs and the pros? What do those two worlds in tennis symbolize in the movie? I have to give Guadagnino and the writer Justin Kuritzkes credit; they've managed to fool nearly everyone into thinking that this profound and insightful art movie is really just a piece of popular entertainment. It's almost too clever for its own good.
I loved the characters. So human the 3 of them
Arthur goin wild
just saw John O'Connor in La Chimera & he fuckin killed it. he learned enough italian just for the role & his performance is incredible. made me excited for this film, & i definitely recommend anyone to check out La Chimera
La Chimera is beautiful
@@nicolej6358 probably my favorite film of the year 🥹
feeling cute today
He's always cute, watchu mean jabroni
Challengers is now my favorite film of the year. I loved the acting from all 3. The tennis is super believable other than the underhand serve and hitting the net at the end, but that's besides the point.
Werk!
POTION SELLER!!
Saw the movie last night (spoilers), and while it has some strong points, the acting, the chemistry and some of the shots. Overall, wasn't a big fan of the movie. It was 2hr15 minutes long, it had about 30 time skips and was far harder to follow than EEAAO but in some of these scenes it felt like the attention it demands wasn't worthwhile. It also over employed slo mo and every cinematic effect possible to make the tennis points more interesting, but for me, when they made a single serve sequence go for 2 minutes this is going way too far and just took me out of the movie. As someone who watches tennis, some of it was alright, but most was overdone in my opinion, the racket smashing, the number of different edits and angles they chose, and also the 90s euro club music that played through every scene. By the end I thought the movie had to be a satire with the ridiculous music choices during what should have been the most emotionally impactful scenes. The scene at the end with the tornado, with Tashi and Patrick like come on, we get it the tornado reflects their inner situation. The movie under cooked Tashi's injury and how that affected her, this aspect was interesting and could've been explored further. To me the music tried to be both a comedy while also being serious and I just found myself laughing at the ridiculousness of the scenes rather than truly caring about the characters. A lot of potential and some interesting ideas but for me it didn't deliver.
I saw it on the weekend and love your review. Spot on.
I think the movie suffered from the editing. I get it, I understand the back and forth, but I feel like the editing got distracting at times.
What about the daughter? What a throw away character.
So true! Pointless but for upping the stakes on the marriage.
I feel like that’s a pretty acceptable purpose for a child to have in a movie that has such overtly sexual over and undertones. Also one else’s characters are developed besides the three main ppl
thats like saying the father was a throw away character, this movie is just about them 3
The age of the daughter and the timing of "Atlanta" was very much on purpose to add an extra layer of ambiguity to everyone's connections.
What makes this movie rated R? Any sex scenes? If so what do they entail?
You can just read what the MPA has written.
There's one full frontal shot but no actual sex in the movie- it just feels sexy!
I am a huge , long time tennis fan and I have trouble seeing 3 super skinny, relatively non athletic / muscular people acting as tennis elites and coaches. I do like the actors, i have no interest to see twosomes / threesomes so i may wait a bit to see this movie. Thanks for the review tho!
The actors did like at least 3 months tennis training with 1 of the top tennis coaches in the business
The movie is not that sexual. This movie is very good. I saw the movie. I think you will like it.
Shame cause that's some of the best tennis I've seen on screen. Tennis fans should see this .
I walked out on it.
I know nothing about tennis, but i would say that tennis is not quite the point of the film
Just when i recalled that we still dont have uncharted2, we got even More from zendaya, when all i wanted was more of Tom Holland!!!!! What is happening?! Give me more of Tom, dammit!!!! Trouples concept though is very interesting i gotta say, but for me, not wiz zendaya, id actually swap her with (yes! exactly!) Mr. holland!!! Now thats the trouple 2see! Would be... Quite Interesting!!))
it's junk, is what it is.
This movie was crappy, boring, very bland, I am absolutely disappointed with it. The play of the actors was mealy, the dialogues were weak, it was supposed to aspire maybe to some sexy thriller, about rivalry in bed and on the court, about a love triangle, a ruthless woman wanting to take advantage of these guys and revenge, and it came out very average. Embarrassing cinema, embarrassing scenes - especially the one about learning to masturbate. Massacre. It's a waste of time, there were films with this theme, much better.
zendaya cant act and is homely..why do they cast this thing in so many movies? i will never pay to see her
So disappointing such a crap movie
