Zendaya's steamy tennis movie Challengers aces its critics' reviews as they praise film's 'sexy romantic triangle' and 'sexual tension'


Zendaya's new film Challengers has served up an ace with movie critics. The movie currently holds a 91% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Brian Truitt from USA Today suggested that the movie, 'Falls nebulously somewhere between a coming-of-age flick, dysfunctional relationship drama and snazzy sports extravaganza, Guadagnino nevertheless holds serve with yet another engaging, hot-blooded tale of flawed humans figuring out their feelings.' Kyle Smith from the Wall Street Journal penned, '[Luca Guadagnino] does his best to give substance to a thin, soapy story, but he relies so heavily on gimmicks (several montages feature electronic dance music) that he starts to seem desperate.' Meanwhile Vulture's Angelica Jade Bastién wrote, 'The details of these people’s lives and their interiorities are so thinly drawn they feel more like beautiful ideas crashing into one another and leaving little messes that are too easy to clean up.'
