Challengers Review: Zendaya, Mike Faist & Josh O'Connor Are Electric

[@jgerald2002]

My husband and I were cast as the gay couple at the motel scene with Josh! It was a great experience working with Luca!

[@jalarhone]

Yall were funny! Enjoyed it! ❤

[@DeeVee7162]

killed it!!

[@rodolfocoronel487]

omg you were so great!!

[@hm2011100]

Oh you guys were so hilarious & memorable in that scene! I laughed out loud when one of you slapped the other for ogling Patrick 😂 How did the 2 of you get cast??

[@cliffordsam8260]

Nice! Thanks for the fun fact. I will definitely see it!

[@kwalton7690]

Saw this tonight. Aces🎾It's my favorite film of the year so far and plan to see again this weekend and that score will be playing in my head this whole week.

[@jja8750]

As a super fan of film, tennis, and these 3 main actors, I am just SO psyched to see this. Great review!!!

[@AllisonKraus1]

I was kind of interested in this movie, but after hearing this review I'm REALLY interested now. It sounds like it's got simply everything going for it

[@jennifer5512]

Thanks Perri! I'm so excited to see this movie and your review as always was a joy to listen to!

[@brucecrawford_17]

That final tennis match in the film was crazy good. 😬 I feel old now seeing Zendaya play a mother onscreen. 😭 Thank you for your review, Perri. 🙏

[@dennismanning3964]

great director. great cast, great music producers. Great review. I can't wait

[@ibsennn]

It was brilliant!!! You nailed this review. Thank you so much for this deep and accurate review of the movie. Acting, directing, sound, music, cinematography, etc. This movie was just WOW, breathtaking.

[@rmcmariusable]

Thank you for this fantastic review. I can't wait to see this film. For more on Zendaya and her experience making this film as both an actress and producer, read her cover story in this May's Vogue. It was written by my daughter, Marley Marius.

[@hm2011100]

Wow, congrats, you must be so proud of your daughter!

[@rmcmariusable]

@@hm2011100thank you. Yes, we are. It is her first cover story and she worked really hard on it. Hopefully it is the first of many.

[@blockboygames5956]

I wish you and your daughter every blessing. :)

[@EleventhCubFan]

So excited for this. I love the cast! Are you gonna interview Zendaya for Ladies Night?

[@PerriNemiroff]

I wish!! Maybe one day though 🤞

[@StaminaMC]

Got to see it last night. Really dug it. The characters and premise were so believable to me, and it was cool to not be presented with a particular person to root for. Time jumps drove me nuts though, and I didn’t care for the score; I actually lost bits of dialogue to it, annoyingly. And as an ultra-trivial nitpick, some of the ‘efforts’ during the matches sounded canned/repetitive the longer they went; a few people in the room started to chuckle at them too. But yeah, rate it highly. 🏆

[@LAZISH]

I'm so happy that the movie and the cast especially Z have raving reviews. I want Z to really shine as a lead actress and/or in an ensemble. So far, I have not seen her outstanding performance.

[@aaronblum9555]

I saw it today. I really wish I felt the way about it that you did. For me - I had no problem with the acting of the 3 leads per say - they can all act, but in the end, 2 of the 3 characters really don't come off as likable/someone you are rooting for, and the other not that much better of a person. And what really bothered me - without spoiling it, was the ending. I felt there was a lack of resolution. I watched an "Ending Explained" video and after hearing the reasoning, I still felt cheated. I felt the story just didn't reach a conclusion to what they had been building to, and then what would have been the aftermath. I'll give it another try when it comes on Amazon Prime, but for me right now it probably is my most disappointing movie so far this year.

[@notrixamoris3318]

I know she was great but she was a disney princess...never would I guess that she will soar that high. Thanks for the review Perri.

[@chance757]

have you not seen euphoria? those emmys were EARNED

[@johnkaufman5474]

I enjoyed Challengers but I also appreciate your T shirt. I grew up with Fangoria and Starlog. That kind of intelligent magazine led the way to web sites dealing with film on a serious fan level.

[@post2033]

Saw it today and loved it. Agree with everything you said. A big surprise to me was the original end credits song, I knew Trent & Atticus did the score but hadn't heard they did a song as well. Loved hearing Trent's voice as the credits started to roll. It's a good, fitting song.

[@brianng8350]

REally enjoyed the movie, but I need to see it again. The time jump is a bit confusing in some scenes. And I missed some of the dialogue. And I don't quite understand the ending... I need a spoiler discussion...

[@KhalidQuesada]

What don't you understand about the ending?

[@brianng8350]

@KhalidQuesada spoiler talk... So, who won the match. Art went over the fence and Patrick caught him? At first, Art was angry after finding out Patrick had a fling with his wife, but after a while, Art seems like he was smiling? Does that mean all was forgiven? Does Tachi end up coaching Patrick? Does Art and Tachi stay together?

[@KhalidQuesada]

@@brianng8350 I think it's intentionally left ambiguous. There are certainly no obvious answers.

[@brianng8350]

@KhalidQuesada Yeah, I don't like these open ended movie or movies opened to interpretations. Personal preference...

[@mariagracielasayas2875]

Fantastic Review 😊

[@michaelgreene4816]

I am extremely worried that this movie is being overhyped.

[@twittertwice]

stay home… rub some vicks on your anxiety

[@lilacs3441]

When it's Zendaya, it usually is.

[@Out_of_The_Furnace_2013Film]

That shirt rocks perri 🤘

[@kayefbutterfly]

As excited I have been for this film, I honestly wasn't expecting it to get these insanely great reviews. I thought it was going to be just a fun love triangle tennis film but now it seems like the movie is more rich in quality than expected!!!

[@aaronhall5715]

Really loved this money. Josh O'Connor managed to squeak out the win for my favourite of the 3. Truly good stuff.

[@Wiz83]

Why is it that even "sexy" movies nowadays are super chaste?

[@ghostwolf1435]

I’m late to the party but while I enjoyed the film quite a bit I found the soundtrack a little too aggressive

[@MrXabungle]

Justin Kuritzkes, the husband of Celine Song and to me, the potion seller.

[@michaelgreene4816]

Will you do reviews in a studio ever again?

[@myytchanneldinakoha8498]

The umpire took me out of it. An umpire is an invisible presence officiating the match. Projecting your identity like that won’t work in real pro tennis. It distracts from the game and the players.

[@eddieanderson9399]

I'm giving Challengers 40 Love out of 5 stars.

[@billiestevens318]

This is a can’t miss hit for anybody on team rainbow. But if you don’t on at least one rainbow flag, you’re going to want to pass on this one. It’ll just upset you.

[@simonecesco6832]

Interesting that you don’t spend almost a single word for Guadagnino. Why? Because he’s not American?

[@lilacs3441]

To focused on zendaya. Unfortunately like she made entire movie or show by herself.

[@anakinSkyhopper91]

This was one of the worst movie I've seen almost ever

[@th3villain]

this movie was terrible, do not fall for the propaganda
