  Challengers 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 07 Feb 2025

  This movie is definitely superficial and selfish in every sense. There's brands everywhere, fleeting sentimentality, it won awards seemingly mostly for its soundtrack...The stakes are very personal, and at the end of the day everything only affects the lives of rich people.

  I still liked it. Maybe I'm making up a better movie in my head, but I had fun. I would agree that this movie is not as progressive or sexy or intellectual as some might have you believe, but there's still something there. At least for me.

  ★ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  very white suburban melancholy obsessed, too focused on generalizing an incredibly individual experience with colorful visuals...the whole thing just falls flat for me

  I pretty much agree with all of the bad things and all of the good things people have to say about this one. What a weird fucking dude.
