Timothée Chalamet’s latest film, Marty Supreme, has made a significant splash, exceeding expectations and earning rave reviews. The movie, which recently premiered at the New York Film Festival, has been described as electrifying by critics.
About the film
Set in the 1950s, Marty Supreme tells the story of Marty Mauser’s journey to become a world-class table tennis champion. The film, directed by Josh Safdie as his first solo project without his brother Benny, has generated considerable buzz, particularly following the Safdie brothers’ recent creative separation. While Benny Safdie’s film, The Smashing Machine, received mixed reviews, Marty Supreme is emerging as a clear crowd-pleaser.
Audience Reactions
Social media reactions highlight the film’s impact. One viewer on X compared it to a blend of ‘Catch Me If You Can’ and ‘Uncut Gems,’ calling it Safdie’s best work yet. Another fan praised Chalamet’s performance, stating, “Timothée Chalamet delivers the performance of a lifetime. This is the kind of film that makes you remember why you love movies.” The sentiment is echoed by others who noted Safdie’s direction and Chalamet’s captivating screen presence, with one comment particularly resonating: “Marty Supreme — Timothee Chalamet is the capital M movie star we were promised. A 300 mph cannonball of a film that never seems to slow down for a second.” These early reactions suggest that Marty Supreme is set to cement Chalamet’s position as a defining movie star of this generation.
