    It took me a long time to check out this sport romance, but to say I was knocked over by this inventive, dramatic, erotic story is an understatement.

How to explain? You just need to experience it.

    Interesting brief interview with Challengers screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes.

    A guide to the films of Luca Guadagnino.
