I was skeptical of [Luca Guadagnino](/search?text=Luca+Guadagnino&)'s films like [Call Me By Your Name](/reviews/Call_Me_By_Your_Name.md) until I saw them. It felt like Luca is making high brow dramas that are designed solely as tear-squeezers that appeal to contemporary politics. But then I saw his movies. From **Call Me By Your Name** to instant horror classics like [Bones And All](/reviews/Bones_And_All.md) he proved time and time again that he is truly great. His movies are insanely visceral emotional roller-coasters that are not afraid to be sincere, while every other movie these days cannot take anything seriously. But then came a trailer of Luca Guadagnino making a movie about Tennis.
