‘I Hope This Isn’t A Frustrating Answer To You’: Challengers’ Writer Shares His Take On The Film’s Divisive Ending

Movies



Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers premiered relatively early last year, yet remained one of the best movies of 2024. The intense, sultry tennis romance starring Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor had audiences in chokehold and Challengers’ reviews were stellar. From the EDM soundtrack to the complicated yet sexy throuple dynamics, there really wasn’t much to complain about, until the film’s divisive end.

The final scene of Challengers sees a reconciliation of sorts amongst the love triangle between Tashi, Patrick and Art, but there are still so many unanswered questions, leaving audiences frustrated. However, writer Justin Kuritzkes told People he doesn’t feel the need to clarify any remaining loose ends, even if it results in an ambiguous ending:

I hope this isn’t a frustrating answer to you, but my thing with that really is that, by the time they’re all really talking to each other at the end and all their cards are on the table, and the boys are playing the best tennis of their lives and Tashi is playing tennis in her way for the first time in years, to me, at that point I’ve gotten what I wanted from the movie. And the match is irrelevant. Who wins the match is irrelevant because we’ve moved beyond that.
