Britain's What's On Event Guide
Stafford Film Theatre: Challengers
CHALLENGERS
Luca Guadagnino / USA, Italy 2024 / 131 min / Cert 15
Following a triangle of relationships between tennis prodigies, Challengers vividly communicates the pains and gains of the professional tennis circuit. Josh O'Connor captures the charisma of talented but wayward Patrick; Mike Faist exemplifies boyhood buddy Art's dogged discipline; Zendaya personifies beautiful Tashi's talent, discipline and love for the game. We see the single-mindedness of elite athletes - attractive maybe, but not necessarily nice or loveable Former world Top-10 player Andrea Petkovic wrote: It's not necessarily the best movie I have ever seen, but it is the best tennis movie. Maybe even the best sports movie. Sorry, Moneyball.
