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.

Annie Berke

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.

TIME Magazine

There are times you want to fight Challengers—to take its sliced-and-diced timeline and put everything in its proper order—but resistance is futile.

Filmspotting

For all of its heat and copious amounts of kissing, there are no sex scenes – except that sweaty, ecstatic tennis match.

Rated: 4/5

Craig D. Lindsey

Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

Challengers, like most heated, emotional, one-on-one interactions, comes to a messy, baffling finish.

Nestor Cine Desde Hollywood

The ball is round and the court rectangular, but this elevated melodrama is a magnetic Bermuda triangle. [Full Review in Spanish]
