A Sexless Hollywood

<description>&lt;p&gt;Jared is back for another review this week with Luca Guadagnino&amp;#39;s latest film, starring Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O&amp;#39;Connor. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tashi, a tennis player turned coach, has transformed her husband from a mediocre player into a world-famous grand slam champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a challenger event -- close to the lowest level of tournament on the pro tour. Tensions soon run high when he finds himself standing across the net from the once-promising, now burnt-out Patrick, his former best friend and Tashi&amp;#39;s former boyfriend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Watch the &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/nRXZcd_ptVA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"&gt;full video version here.&lt;/a&gt;
