From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court. Married to a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist - West Side Story), Tashi's strategy for her husband's redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O'Connor - The Crown) -- his former best friend and Tashi's former boyfriend. As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win.

All’s fair in love and tennis: it’s a brutal, animalistic tussle that leaves no one unscathed.

Rated: 4/5

San Diego Reader

Guadagnino knows how to make people very, very attractive. But that’s not the same as interesting.

Rated: 1/5

The New Republic

Challengers hails the voyeuristic spectator at every turn: It’s a movie as much about watching as about performing, as much about scopophilia as exhibitionism.

All buildup and no release, posing hypotheticals and cheering for matches that never feel finished.

Seventh Row

I’ve spent more time thinking about Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers than most movies...this year...[especially] Josh O’Connor’s scene-stealing performance [which] elevates every scene partner and Luca Guadagnino’s impeccable blocking and directing
