The two biggest challenges were implementing the search bar and implementing a gradient view for the bottom of each cell. The search bar was difficult to implement since there were lots of variables to consider with the filtered data, and edge cases for when the user clicks the cancel button, the search button, etc. I also spent a long time with the gradient view and animations for the movie details view since it took me a while to grasp an understanding of CGRect. Additionally, I spent some time figuring out the dimensions of the poster images in the table view cell and in the details view as to not distort the image yet still maintain an appropriate crop of the poster image in the views.
