"Dripping with sexual tension, sweaty tennis matches, and subtext, Challengers is one of the sexiest and most unique movies of the year. It takes love triangles to the next level, leaving it to viewers' interpretation of who loves whom and where the real rivalry lies. The film is a must-see for Zendaya fans, as she offers one of her best performances yet as a fierce and unreadable tennis pro. Mike Faist and Josh O'Connors' performances also make the chemistry between the protagonists palpable. Challengers is one ambiguous, sensual, and thrilling exploration of love."
