About this film
What it's about
Tennis player turned coach Tashi has taken her husband, Art, and transformed him into a world-famous Major champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she signs him up for a "Challenger" event — close to the lowest level of pro tournament — where he finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and Tashi's former boyfriend.
Date Night Pick
Love, ambition, and a very fine line
Luca Guadagnino turns a tennis love triangle into something sweaty, sensual, and impossibly stylish, with Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O'Connor circling each other across the net and the years. It is the rare romance that plays like a thriller, all longing and rivalry and unspoken want. You will be arguing happily about who deserved what long after the credits roll. It sits at 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.0 on IMDb.
