Challengers Ratings e Recensioni
- Jacob Grimes6 gg faNo point to the movie
- Varun19 ottobre 2024I’ll admit right off the bat that I didn’t give 100% of my attention to this film and also took an hour lunch break in between, so I’m sure it affected my enjoyment but I also had some criticism to make. Firstly I do think this was a good psychosexual drama exploring the intersecting triangle dynamics of rivalry and love. But for me a lot of it didn’t click. I absolutely do not mind non-linear storytelling but I thought the back and forth was way too much in this film and it broke immersion. I didn’t feel an itching desire within me to know what defining events in the past caused a chain reaction to the present because at a certain point it got exhausting. Toxic characters can be fun to watch but I didn’t find myself caring much about any of them after the first half of the film. I also felt the slow motion was a bit excessive and cheesy. Tennis matches are already riveting by themselves so I don’t think the techno music added much, and in some scenarios felt too comical. I think the marketing and buzz around this film tried to sell how raunchy it is and I was disappointed by the lack of wildly intimate scenes. I thought the cinematography was really good and there were some really good scenes with intense dialogue and mind games. Reading some of the reviews on Letterboxd definitely enhanced my perception of the movie. I recently watched the documentary Boom! Boom! The World vs Boris Becker, and I was absolutely transfixed by how dramatic tennis games can be, with players bringing all their life histories, desires, obsessions and pains into the game and how in return the tennis rivalries affected their wider life. I did not receive that same wondrous insight from Challengers, it had a lot of good ideas but couldn’t fully bring it together for me.
- regi junior21 marzo 2026Be careful… this isn’t a movie — it’s a luxury brand commercial stretched into two hours, wrapped around a very thin plot and relying on big‑name actors to get you hooked. In magazines, this would be called an advertorial: it looks like it has real content, but it’s really just a vehicle to deliver paid advertising. It even makes me wonder whether the high ratings it gets on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb aren’t also influenced or artificially inflated.
- Kevin Ward1 luglio 2025I think ya’ll are just horny or something. That was stupid. I found zero reason to care about these characters, none of which are given depth whatsoever. And while I appreciate some of the creative flourishes in the tennis matches, there were plenty others that were incredibly frustrating…. [spoilers ahead if you have not seen the film] …..particularly the use of hyper slo-mo in that final match. We all know Patrick is going to do Art’s dumb serve maneuver to nonverbally signal that he f**ked his wife. But to have to sit there and watch Patrick bounce his ball, almost serve, bounce his ball again, almost serve, look across the net, bounce his ball again, all in super slow-mo?….just stop. Kind of disappointed in the score too. I mean, I liked the Ross-Reznor tracks in isolation, but I didn’t really think it fit this film all that well. I had a suspicion that this wouldn’t be my thing and that’s one of the reasons it’s taken me so long to watch this. Honestly, this was more disappointing than even I was expecting.

- Mayank Mishra17 dicembre 2025Don't watch
- wonderrxjr11 dicembre 2025God this was shot and made so well I loved it all. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross did an insanely too good of job for this sound track wowza. Zendaya I loved your fuck ass bob in this so much like I wish mine could be that cool. Maybe I should talk to my friends and try to get good at tennis (I'm dogshit and always will be). Also LOVED seeing my favorite TV commentator Chris Fowler here for a bit
