Absolutely loved this film. I was engaged until the end without any hint of dropping off (I do in the cinema often!). Zendaya is wonderful, although I'd say the two leading men are more engaging throughout. The soundtrack had me wanting to move in my seat, and made me jump on more than one occasion. You don't have to like tennis to like the film (although I do so it helped a little bit). I enjoyed the relationship of the three main characters shown throughout the period of 13 years. What a tinker Tashi is! Extremely watchable escapism for a midweek visit to the pictures.

I was looking forward to this. I just can’t get my head around its success. I tried so hard (I love Margot and Ryan) to love it but it just left me cold. The hammy script didn’t hammer home the message for me. Such a shame.
