This movie was phenomenal. It is 100% going to be seen as a cult classic. The score and soundtrack of this movie adds so much to it, and the chemistry between Zendaya, Mike and Josh is incredible. I didn't understand what people meant by, "this movie makes you want to play tennis", until I saw it. It truly shows how beautiful and captivating the sport is.
My only two complaints would be I felt a lot of things were left open ended, I didn't like how in the end we don't know who won the final set, and a small detail in the beginning showed Patrick (Josh O'Connor) scratching him forearm, sort of alluding to him being a drug addict, and finally Tashi (Zendaya) says to Art (Mike Faist), "I would kill to get over my injury like you did", but they never show or tell us what type of injury Art's character was subject to. However, they may be leaving it open for a second movie perhaps. I also didn't particularly like the jumping back and forth between time periods and wish the movie had done it in a more fluid, story telling way.
Other than that, you can feel the tension through the screen. It is truly a movie that gives you an adrenaline rush, for example I saw it at 10 o'clock at night and left that movie theatre feeling like I could run a marathon.
