Dir: Luca Guadagnino | USA | 2024 | 131 mins
Cast | Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, Mike Faist
Zendaya plays a romantically challenged tennis pro in the ménage à trois sports drama by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Bones and All, I Am Love), scripted by playwright Justin Kuritzkes (Guadagnino’s repeat collaborator on the upcoming Queer) and sound-tracked by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
A former tennis prodigy turned coach, Tashi (Zendaya) lands on a surprising strategy to bring her former champion husband Art (Mike Faist) back to form – a ‘Challenger’ match against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O’Connor) – Art’s ex-best friend, and Tashi’s former lover. As the trio reunite, memories of their youthful love triangle arise and new feelings of jealousy, lust and betrayal come to the fore. Tashi must ask herself: what will it cost her to win?
One of the most feverishly anticipated films of 2024, Challengers promises to be a punchy, sensationally watchable blend of romance, tennis and high drama, both on and off the court.
