I saw this movie today at an early access showing. The movie had received an excellent critical rating so far and I try to go see every movie A24 puts out. Unfortunately in seeing the film I left feeling a little disappointed. This film showcases great performances from its leads and above average cinematography. However I thought the script was nothing special. The dialogue in the movie gets pretty cringy whenever it tries to be heartfelt particularly the beach scene which gave me second hand embarrassment. If you are going to this movie in hopes for something provocative or sexy I would save your money. I frankly think the advertising for this film plays up this element of the story because they realize the product is middling at best. Although on a final note I would say if you are a big fan of tennis or Zendaya it's worth a watch, particularly for the latter who is proving once again she will be a Hollywood mainstay for decades to come.
