Resumen
Opiniones destacadas
We have two young tennis players - one successful and the other is not for various reasons - both in love with the same woman who seems to jump between them in what makes for a complicated love triangle. Add in electronic music played loudly over scenes where not much is happening, gratuitous nudity (so many penises), and neverending slo-motion in an overlong running time and you have Challengers.
I liked Zendaya when she was playing the role of mature mother and retired tennis professional, but she all too easily slips into an angsty teen who feels too young to play the character.
My favourite moments were the two male leads just hanging out (they had more chemistry than Zendaya with either one), but I wasn't exactly sure what the seemingly homoerotic moments added to the story.
Despite the above points, this movie held my interest and had me wondering exactly where it was going. When it landed, however, I felt cheated of 2 hours by watching a movie that thought it was smarter than it really was. Severely lacking payoff.
Second, there were excessive timeline jumps. It is often a useful story-telling device, but here it was excessive and distracting - so much so that when they did another timeline jump there was a consensus "groan." Making matters worse, is that there were time jumps as long as 13 years. However, Zendaya --- bless her heart --- as much as they tried to "age" her and "de-age" her through hair and make-up, she never looked, to me, older than about 17 years old regardless of the time era.
Third, while I credit Zendaya for tackling such a meaty role, and as much as I otherwise adore her, she just simply seemed to young to be so "weathered" and "jaded" and "cynical" and "ruthless" and "calculating" as she was. Further, I really don't remember her smiling once throughout the movie. And as I have read in other reviews, she seemed to have a resting "scowl" throughout the movie - ironically very much similar to the scowl she had throughout both Dune 1 and 2.
And lastly, by the end of the movie, none of the three characters were likeable, and, perhaps, oddly, sadly, Zendaya was, to me, the least likeable. And from a film character study point of view, the viewer is never given a reason or backstory for this.
With all these distractions in mind, I was so eager for the movie to end that I lost all investment whatsoever in who won or lost in the story's big moment.
¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaPatrick taking a bite of the churro and letting Art take one was unscripted. Josh O'Connor was starving and it was the first time he ever had churros.
- ErroresAfter Patrick loses the second set in his final round match against Art and smashes his racket, the chair umpire declares a code violation point penalty; however, it should have been a game penalty, as Patrick had already received a point penalty earlier in the match (the scoreboard at the bottom accurately reflects the correct score).
- Citas
Tashi Donaldson: [after Patrick notices her engagement ring] It was his grandmother's.
Patrick Zweig: How is she?
Tashi Donaldson: She died. Stroke.
- Créditos curiososOn the United States release of the film, the MGM logo appears after the brief opening prologue, and the roar of studio mascot, Leo the Lion, is silenced.
