Surprisingly good.
I think after a couple of 7-8/10 films, Guadagnino finally strikes with his best film to date. Electrifying, sexy drama. Zendaya solidifies her position in the big leagues.
I caught myself smiling in the movie theater, and that hasn't happened in a while. I genuinely enjoyed the entire film from start to finish. I didn't even feel the urge to check the time on my watch.
It's high-level filmmaking, with great ideas and overall very solid execution. I had thought Guadagnino might lose steam during the 142-minute runtime, but boy was I wrong; he held the reins the entire time without loosening his grip.
The tennis scenes are well-executed, but they're not the main focus of the movie; that remains the love triangle throughout.
