So excited for this one. The trailer did such a great job setting up the film and especially how both used Rihanna’s “S&M” and Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater” mainly to headline Zendaya was brilliant.
Honestly, the trailer didn't even give some of the juiciest bits away. I left the theater a changed man. Zendaya needs to play more villain roles. If this doesn't get nominations, I'd be shocked.
@@ohsukah Zendaya needs to play more good guy roles. This is her first lead role in a major motion picture. And that's sad - as great as she is in it. If Tom Hanks can play versatile good guy roles for Decades, a Girl should be able to as well. Zendaya can flex her versatility as a good girl in the Lead role.
@@ohsukah Did you ever really doubt? Did you see Mike's magnificent turn in WEST SIDE STORY? And Zendaya and Josh O'Connor clearly deserved those EMMY AWARDS!
The acting, cinematography, and musical score in CHALLENGERS are all Great. Just wish it were a more wholesome vehicle for brilliantly multi-talented, wonderful Zendaya. She deserves that. That said, it is a much more wholesome film than some of the misleading, unfortunately Unwholesome previews would have people believe.
The sassy referee is actually Zendaya's best friend/personal assistant, Darnell Appling.
OMG...he was everything. He added the perfect amount of humor at times.

So happy to see my husband Mike Faist succeeding
I was so wrong about him...I will gladly admit that. I get the appeal now.

I can't wait to see it mostly because I love Zendaya and Mike Faist. I'm not too familiar with Luca Guadagnino's work, but I know the films he did.
I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm typically not the biggest fan of this filmmaker, but he def made one of my favorite films of the year.
Mulitple EMMY Winner Zendaya and Mike are great. Josh O'Connor is also fantastic. He won an EMMY for his work as Prince Charles in "The Crown."

I could understand where you’re coming from, but this does help show her range. I’m hoping more will consider casting her in a leading role.
I’ve been waiting on this for 2 years now. So excited
I need Zendaya in more leading roles on the big screen. I love a good messy drama. I just can't believe I did not have this on my radar sooner.
Great review,I'm excited to see the performances
Thank you!! I was very nervous. I'm looking forward to seeing it again. I enjoyed it that much.
Great review as always!
Thank you!!! We still need to talk The First Omen!
Darnell Appling… Zendaya’s bestie and PA is the referee!!!
Darnell is a freaking scene stealer. I'm a sucker for a good sassy moment.
❤❤❤❤
aww. Thank you!!!
If you are on team rainbow, this movie is a good one for you. But if you don’t on a single rainbow flag, you might be better off just skipping it.
Not necessarily. It's a well shot film with a banger soundtrack. I was personally a fan of the story too.
