In the highly anticipated film, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist grunt, grovel, and occasionally grab each other's thighs in the name of Zendaya.Luca Guadagnino’s bonafide love letter to bisexuals everywhere—where the three protagonists and burgeoning tennis pros engage in a tête-à-tête about their game. At this point, spectators have only begun to learn how thoroughly fucked up these people are .
In a bid to boost his confidence, Duncan enters him in a Challenger event where he’s more likely to trounce lower-level opponents. And wouldn’t you know one of those losers is Zweig, who’s already peaked in the pros, living out of his car, and for reasons we don’t learn until later, no longer on speaking terms with Duncan or Donaldson!
With every gratuitous crotch shot, guttural moan, and gulp of ego, an event from their shared past is revealed and there’s another shift in allegiance. Zweig dated Duncan until Donaldson snaked her behind his back. But a big fat diamond, a-obsessed daughter, and a lot of room service never really quelled Duncan’s desire for Zweig throughout the years. He and Donaldson also didn’t quite quit each other either.
