Challengers
Directed by Luca Guadagnino
Tennis player turned coach Tashi has taken her husband, Art, and transformed him into a world-famous Major champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she signs him up for a "Challenger" event — close to the lowest level of pro tournament — where he finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and Tashi's former boyfriend.

positive · AI labelView post →I’m so angry that I Saw the TV Glow AND Challengers both didn’t get Oscar nominations. Like, two of the best pieces of queer art in decades, but no - we’re gonna nominate a racist transphobic movie about a Mexican trans woman written by a 72-year old French cis guy.
positive · AI labelView post →i was saying to my wife that even the much-lauded horniness of CHALLENGERS pales in comparison to something like BODY HEAT, a movie where kathleen turner literally leads william hurt away to a bathtub with his dick.
neutral · AI labelView post →yup rewatch confirms it Challengers was the best movie of the year
positive · AI labelView post →Is this that Challengers movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →People are wondering why box office is down so much in the last couple years and like, you have this huge buzzy movie in CHALLENGERS that tons of people are interested in and you can stream it at home 3 weeks after it was in theaters.

neutral · AI labelView post →movie fun fact: for luca guadagnino's CHALLENGERS (2024), to accommodate a fast shooting schedule, whenever they were filming close-ups of zendaya they'd leave the rest of her on a charging station to be ready for the next scene

positive · AI labelView post →In the movie Challengers, the women's tennis player is played by Zendaya, and they said that's what a woman looks like. Apparently the idea of a professional athlete being, you know, athletic was completely bonkers to them.

neutral · AI labelView post →*guy who mixes up Conclave and Challengers* Wait, it's going to be just like the movie? Why would a bunch of Catholic Cardinals do that?
neutral · AI labelView post →Much love but Emilia Pérez is a terrible movie and it winning over The Substance, Challengers, Anora, A Real Pain, and Wicked is a fuckin joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
positive · AI labelView post →A varied week consisting of a musical, a sexploitation film, a sequel, & a sexually charged sports drama. All fairly good in their own ways. Here's my #LastFourWatched. Hamilton reinvigorated broadway, B.E slept with everyone in Africa, Ready 2 was explosive fun, & Challengers was a banger. #Filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →I think everyone about my age remembers where they were when they learned about the Challengers explosion. No one expected that movie to do what it did.
neutral · AI labelView post →I am up stupid early for various reasons, so let me just say: Our panel all loved CHALLENGERS. Absolutely worth going out and seeing in a theater. Just a smart, entertaining, exciting movie. Hooray. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...
positive · AI labelView post →With each movie she gets a little better. Challengers is a performance that builds on what she’s doing here—determination, integrity and betrayal
positive · AI labelView post →My best friend, who had never seen Challengers (2024) and thought it was just a movie about being rich and having a hot wife, has been telling me "I need a Challengers (2024) summer" for months and he finally watched it and text me "yoooooo"
