Challengers

This afternoon I went to the South bank Cinema to see the movie Challengers. Art Donaldson(Mike Faist) who is an professional Tennis Player is on an losing streak and is married to Tashi Duncan (Zendaya) who coaches him as well as being an tennis player until an knee injury ends her playing career. Art plays in the Challenger Tournament which in the final he plays against his former best friend Patrick Zweig(Josh O'Connor) who was also the boyfriend of Tashi which things will get interesting. It is FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB with FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT Acting by Zendaya, Mike Faist, Josh O'Connor who had played Charles Princes Of Wales in the Crown, Darnell Appling and AJ LIster. It is directed by Luca Guadagnino and produced by Zendaya, Amy Pascal, Rachel O'Connor and Luca Guadagnino. I give it 4 and an half stars as it's in the cinemas now so do yourselves an favour and SEE IT which you will be impressed and amazed.
