This was very enjoyable and definitely a standout film of the year so far. Clever way to make the game of tennis not operate as simply a backdrop, but an integral storytelling device between the three leads and their complex love triangle. Zendaya is despicable as fukk in this, but my god does she fukkin’ own the role. Whatever pity I had for her character in ‘Dune: Part Two’ was wiped away here, lol. Did it need to be as long as it was? Debatable, but a rewarding watch nonetheless.
Did not watch it in IMAX but I can see why they chose this one for it. Those tennis matches are gorgeous, and felt like I was at an actual exhibition. Some shots where the ball is firing straight at the camera lens (I flinched
).
I cannot go wrong with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. A few jarring placements but overall I thought the score brought everything together, in a similar manner to how they did for ‘The Social Network’. That piano piece when they were all by the beach.

Was fukkin’ hilarious to watch her end up just as invested as the crowd earlier on, if not more, by match point. Clenching her hands and errything.

Some of the lines Zendaya had in this were
I can’t get the third season of Euphoria, but Rue Bennett definitely came through in a few scenes here. She went the fukk IN during that little cigarette break.
“You have a better shot with a handgun in your mouth.”
the audience gasped at that line. she was cold blooded.Some of the lines Zendaya had in this were

i saw a tweet that the strike last year fukked her fall oscar campaign. this was supposed to open venice and then dune 2 a few months later.
i get what they're saying timing wise, but the stone and gladstone were juggernauts. it might have been helped since this year is barren and we're now in a post EEAAO spring winning movie
Yeah, I agree. Definitely helps her case this go-round. I don’t see her getting a nom over last cycle’s nominees. Zendaya would probably be right there with Greta Lee on the outside looking in wondering what the hell happened.
She could certainly use a break though, especially after working condensed press tours between this project and Dune. That has to be exhausting. Know she said she wanted to get into directing one of these days.

But Korey and the crew gotta stop the trailer after every 5-6 seconds to make some random ass comment and then laugh about it for 30 seconds.I see a video longer than 10 minutes I'm like come on. I be seeing those 49 minute videos for a teaser trailer.
Nope lol.
Z looks like she’s been doing some squats tho, but the premise isn’t what the trailer eludes to.
Yep. Pretty mid.

Zendaya has titties?
Imagine the protests if this was Natalie Alyn Lind instead of Zendaya. The bytch is very close to dime status
I fw Z, but she has no body whatsoever. It's almost as if they cast her because that figure doesn't offend ugly women
