I’ve been waiting for this one! Her character couldve had so much more depth!

[@havispeaks]

I LOVED every messy, complicated, toxic, co-dependent minute of this movie! Nothing cookie cutter about it at all. Cinematography - excellent! Time jumps are like a tennis match (back and forth). IMO, the music was used to make you feel the emotions of the characters versus their actual spoken words. The ending was chef's kiss. From the way Patrick told Art he'd slept with Tashi to her yelling 'come on' and smiling, let's you know she'd gotten her wish of seeing some good f***ing tennis PLUS Art and Patrick are together again kept my emotions on edge. Best movie I've seen in the last few years. 10/10

tbh i think we do get the reasons for her attatchment to tennis. tashi is a prodigy but she says she plans to go to university because she doesnt want tennis to be her only skill, and later (after her injury iirc?) we hear her admit that tennis actually IS the only thing she at least feels like shes good at. and so when shes seperated from tennis by the injury, she does everything she can to be close to tennis and she finds that in art (and later both art and patrick)
or at least that was my read.
and thats why the ending makes sense. tashi got what she wanted. good tennis. she didnt care about patrick and art in that moment (although i think she does care about them generally), the wrap up of her story is her relatioship with tennis.
i do agree though that they couldve pushed tashi and her feelings more to the forefront
anyway, sorry for the long comment lol, and thanks for for making this video, it definitely got me thinking :)

no thanks for your comment! :) That’s a totally fair read! i see why they did the “come on” ending but i did want more for her arc bc she so interesting
