What’s your favourite romantic drama? 🫶

This is one of my favourite films of 2024 so far. I really loved the ending, and how it wasn't about whether Tashi would end up with Art or Patrick. Art regains his confidence while he and Patrick share a reconciling hug, and Tashi cheers from the sidelines. They all seem to have regained their passion for tennis and connection with each other, after all this time.

You could TELL a film freak was behind the camera, because the shots in that last scene were wild. I will say, it did feel like it came out of nowhere at points. For example, the tennis ball POV, the shot “below” the tennis court, the MEGA slow mo- a lot of cool creative takes happened towards the end. I wonder if there was a purpose or they just threw it in there for fun.

You know the movie was good as FUCK when people online are misinterpreting the hell out of it

My emotions were back and forth right up to the end. I was thinking, “devil man”, “devil woman.” And then switching back to thinking they were sweet and pitiful. ig it Challenged my moral compass.

Tashi is Zendaya's best role now, felt so bad for her when she had her knee injury and could no longer play tenis. But she was able to help her husband rise to a professional tennis player!

the moisturizer tashi used was the augustinus bader body cream

As someone who used to play tennis Zendaya shocked me with how well she played. Her aggressive play style made me so fired up like i was watching a real match.

Stellar review, as always. I usually end up agreeing with all of your concise points. I find it hilarious that all three Spidermen have been in war films, while their respective love interests have starred in Tennis themed movies. 🎾🔫

I loved the editing the most!! Especially with the non-chronological story telling, it felt like it mirrored a rally that would happen on a tennis court

I adored this movie and I love the cinematography the most 😍 the way it’s filmed on film and the unique camera angles also helped built tension and made it super exciting and stressful ugh it was amazing

JUST came back from the theatre so this is perfect timing! What a great video as always and so thankful that I didnt watch the trailer before seeing it bc what is that 😭

I know this might sound like a crazy comparison, but watching Challengers I felt it was somewhat similar to a movie in 1977, The Turning Point. Both those movies focus on career obsessed individiuals and what they go through. Literally one of the characters (Deedee) is trying to live vicariously through a loved one after leaving her career as a ballerina, just like Tashi Duncan living vicariously too (albeit through Tennis duh). That was just one of the things that I felt was similiar to The Turning Point too. From romance, career climbing, and public image.

FRR THE MUSIC WAS SO GOOD AHHH! Also I noticed how the camera also films their conversations like a tennis match with quick cuts and steady angles. It can be jarring but it was fascinating to me, I was so engaged! Also I think the camera focusing on body parts and objects added to the sensual and intimate tone of the movie. 👀Just some of my thoughts. 🙏🏼I’m so glad you covered this movie! once again a very thorough analysis! 👏🏼

I love movies that I can watch again and again and see a new perspective! I also love movies that prompt intense discussion like Challengers! My friends and I debated our opinions on the movie for hours after watching it

the moisturizer was Augustinus Bader - its' $190, I recognized the brand watching the movie in the theater and was like damn, they are rich

It was a great movie probably my favorite of 2024

There are NO sex scenes in the movie???? Damn the trailer makers really did this movie dirty (music fr) cause I wasn't gonna watch 2 hrs of smut ---- now I will reconsider

I don't know if you Cover it in the rest of the Video but if I remembered correctly Patrick is Not completely broke. His Parents are rich and for some reason he does Not want their money

I loved the movie and i honestly loved the Deception that the trailer caused. It was so much better than i was expecting

You convinced me to see it this weekend 😮

YESSSSS...i was going to watch this in the theater anyway BUT this video has definitely increased my excitement ... also i love the scene with her laying on the rock in that sparkly blue dress while the boys watch her in awe and adoration.... as if she's this rare mermaid like creature that has them in a deep trance.... which does play out well throughout the movie ...Also i would really be interested in a style analysis video

Do you ever watch videos like this (I also do it with reaction channels) when you catch yourself talking to the videos as if they can hear you- because so many times during this video as I was doing something else, I'd just say "Oh SAME" or some other comment.... Anyway! on my way to add this to my "To be watched" list

Thank you for talking about this movie. I feel like not enough people know about how interesting it actually gets

this is a good review. also love your voice.

Okay, you sold me on that 😳

The films this year so far (at least american ones) just KEEP ON GIVING and we're still halthway through it. This, Dune 2, Love Lies Bleeding, Late Night With the Devil, Monkey Man (and probably Furiosa, which I'm planning on seeing this wewkend)

the camera becoming the ball was probably my favorite part 😭 it was so cool

your intro... I feel like this is so different from call me by your name 😂 I don't care for call me by your name, but challengers was a banger.

I LOVED every messy, complicated, toxic co-dependent minute of this movie! The cinematography - muah,. The time jumps were like a tennis match (back and forth). IMO, the music seemed to be used to show the emotion in the scenes more than the actual spoken words. Nothing about this film was cookie cutter. To me, the ending was chef's kiss. She'd said earlier in the movie that she just wanted to see some good f***ing tennis... She yelled 'Come on' and smiled because she got it PLUS Art and Patrick are friends once again. Best movie I've seen in the last few years! Just BRILLIANT!

i labsoulutely love your voice and had a question out of curiosity! I know it's a long shot but is there anyway you've considered voice acting? I was looking for a few people to do some voicovers for the cgaracters in a book I recently published, and your voice would perfectly match for applying as I'm looking for someone with a similar voice range. I know it's a little off topic but let me know if there's any possible way you'd be interested! Also lovee the videos btw. I've been obsessed with streaming your content this week and subscribed! You're also very kind and constructive with your reviews.

Honestly, I thought I wouldn't like this movie... because I hate tennis and I thought the movie would be very melodramatic. But I loved the intense triangle between the characters, who're almost archetypal, and the chemistry between the actors.

i watched this the other night and loved it. but when i originally watched the trailer i was like nope not for me that looks bad. anyway its very well done same with your review

Can you please do an analysis on the movie “The Doors” which tells a version of the Rock n Roll Legend Jim Morrison’s life and I find him interesting because he was so different and ahead of his time. He stood out during that time from most rock stars and his poems were very introspective and raw that I feel he deserves more recognition 🥰

I wanna go see it a second time while it's in theatres 😭😭

i JUST realized that mike faist is connor murphy in evan hansen.... and i had a big ole crushy crush on him back then

I believe this movie is giving 'y tu mama tambien', especially the love tension of them...

The dishonest marketing is probably why the box office numbers fell by almost 50% in the second week.

Warning: a novel. I think Challengers is such an ingenious movie. On first watch, it is easy to accuse Patrick of being the villain but when I watched it again, he is the most innocent of them all. Art, I feel, is the actual villain. First, he sacrificed such a meaningful, wholesome, and healthy relationship with his best friend and swapped it with a super toxic one where he was humiliated. (I also think that in the relationship between him and Patrick, Art again had a more passive role but Patrick never put him in his place in a malevolent way, while Tashi did exactly that. She downright detested Art for his weakness. In the "intimate" scenes, Art literally crawled towards Tashi and outreached his hands towards her. The second time he even laid in her lap, while she looked disappointed with him.} Second, Art was the one who ruined his best friend's relationship with Tashi. Third, he was the one to hold grudges against Patrick, even though Patrick tried to make amends (in the brutal sauna scene I felt so sad about Patrick). And I love how Patrick pointed out what exactly he thought of Tashi in his car the night before the final game - that she was trash just that she was bothered by it. Between Tashi and Patrick, I think, there was a super strong bond because they both were leaders who enjoyed power games but that led to the end of their relationship. In the love scenes between her and Patrick, one time he was on top, then she was on top, and in his car, she was on his chest, clearly showing equality and even submission on Tashi's side. But I guess Tashi never stopped loving that dynamic and that's why she always came back to Patrick whenever he made a move towards her. In the last moments of the movie when Patrick gave the sign to Art, at first he was crushed and lost his temper but then regained his strength and those smiles between the two of them meant that they had healed their relationship, finally, Tashi didn't matter and the only thing that mattered was the two of them. The hug in the end was the best thing ever, I almost cried. Tashi finally orgasmed because she finally saw passionate love on the court. Good for her, whatever gets her off, haha. On codependency: without Art, Patrick didn't care about tennis as much - a few times in the movie it was pointed out he was very good but didn't have that much ambition and was cocky. However, the friendly competition and support from Art made him a strong player. Art had a passion for the sport and he also needed Patrick to keep the fire going. Without him, he looked like he was ready to die. And it was in the final scene where the two of them again had each other and played the old tennis they had played before Tashi.

How do you avoid copyright in your videos? I feel like KZfaq is ruthless with it.

i saw challengers with my best friends. right after, we ran to pee and my period had come earlier but im responsible and had a pad at the ready. i felt like i was floating as we walked out of the theater. bi, black girls rise!!!

bruh it's just 2 hours of zendaya getting in the way of 2 dudes in the closet😭

I watched last friday and I really want to go and see it again. The cinematography, soundtrack are also BEAUTIFUL and don't get me started in the acting, all three of them absolutely ATE THIS UP!!
