With Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, Mike Faist
Synopsis
Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach, doesn’t make excuses for her game on the court or off.
Married to a fading champion, Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face Patrick, his former best friend and Tashi’s ex-boyfriend.
As their past and present collide and tensions rise, Tashi must consider what it will cost her to win.
Review
Critics often like to talk about “hard-hitting films”; now they’ll have to talk about “racket-hitting films” to discuss “Challengers,” this extraordinary movie.
Screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes crafted a simple yet gripping story, magnified on screen by Luca Guadagnino and masterfully performed by Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist.
A film about desire and a film about the love of sport. Listen to the screenwriter discuss the moment when the film’s idea first sprouted.
Remarkable.
It’s worth noting that Justin Kuritzkes is also the partner of Celine Song, the screenwriter and director of the beautiful film “Past Lives.”
Now screening.
