Challengers15
Tenacious tennis player turned coach, Tashi, has been instrumental in propelling her husband, Art, to the pinnacle of his game. Seeking to snap him out of a recent losing streak, she enrols him in a “Challenger” event, leading him to face Patrick, his former best friend and Tashi’s ex-lover. As the trio reunites, memories of their youthful love triangle resurface, bringing forth new feelings of jealousy, lust, and betrayal. Zendaya and Josh O’Connor co-star in this steamy sports drama directed by the award-winning filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name).
Reviews
‘The most purely pleasurable film of the year so far. Like a great tennis match, it’s a clash of sleekly honed bodies and minds, and the question of who finally comes out on top is irrelevant to the fun of the struggle itself.’
★★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
‘Luca Guadagnino’s thrilling new movie posits that every conversation is a tennis match, and every tennis match is a sex scene – you will be powerless to resist it’
★★★★★
Clarisse Loughery, The Independent

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
