entry arrow3:13 PM | ‘Challengers’ is Queer Horny



It’s like Luca Guadagnino saw the ending of Alfonso Cuarón’s Y Tu Mamá También (2002) and said, “I’ll take that further.” He knew what exactly he was doing in this Challengers (2024). You can feel every inch of his queer intentions in every frame, in every twist, in every horny look the characters give each other. This is the horniest movie of the year, and should do for tennis what Calvin Klein did for for jeans.

Challengers is the same kind of fever dream that made me write “Pete Sampras’s Neck” back in the day. Tennis is sexy. Tennis is gay.
