‘Challengers’ is a compelling movie presented in a manner that mirrors tennis– it is fierce, kinetic, and competitive. This movie explores themes of love, lust, ambition and jealousy with so much precision that it feels that a scalpel was used in each scene. The three lead actors, Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist were great…
‘Blink Twice’ is the directorial debut from Zoë Kravitz. The movie has a dark twist and a down the rabbit hole vibe. The tension and dark humor are engaging.
