The real enemy the film targets—more so than any of the war’s factions or their real-world inspirations—is polarization.

Back in, say, 2019, if a filmmaker signed a deal with Netflix, it meant that he or she would be well paid and receive complete creative freedom. Theatrical release? Not so much.

In an era where a Hollywood executives have been known to (anonymously) bemoan the loss of “the movie star,” Zendaya sure seems to be carrying that torch and running with it, all the way off the tennis court and into more salacious situations.
