I love movies and I love Luca's work usually, but-- yeah, couldn't agree with you more on Challengers. I think you're onto something about it being mainstream. CMBYN escaped that fate by being a festival darling for a year first. I also don't mind Zendaya in general but I think she was miscast in this.
Totally! It being so mainstream and widely-publicized detracted from the film imho. Agree re: Zendaya. I know she's already been in blockbusters, but Euphoria might be the best of her if this is the trajectory she continues on.
You may have inspired me to take a look at the different launch strategies for these films. It seems from early reporting that this was truly a Zendaya vehicle, which makes it all the more interesting that for some of us she's not quite right in it. So much to write...!
