Marty Supreme (2025)★ 7.6/10

Timmy Chalamet’s acting is what mostly keeps the film going. The story is about being resilient, so much to the point that it leads to extremely bizarre situations, but in the end there’s simplicity found.

Feels like in retrospect this could be his Catch Me If You Can. We witnessing Timmy become a man (for maybe the last time) on camera.

Is a movie inherently bad if the protagonist has almost no redeeming qualities? Josh Safdie’s new dark comedy MARTY SUPREME puts that question to the test. It’s a riveting character study of a man who fully believes in manifesting his dreams, no matter the cost. Marty (Timothée Chalamet) is one of the top table tennis players. His goal is to make enough money to go to a big tournament in Japan. He’s a charismatic chaos magnet. He has ambition and a drive like no other. He’s a narcissistic shark that’s convinced himself he has to keep moving to survive. He’s a hustler that can sell shoes to an amputee. People are drawn to him, especially women. He gets involved with his friend Rachel (Odessa A’zion) and a retired movie star Kay Stone (Gweneth Paltrow). Both actresses do an amazing job with their characters, both showing power and vulnerability. Marty is actually very loosely based on a real guy named Marty Reisman. This movie is as chaotic as its star. It’s set in the ‘50s but has a soundtrack from the ‘80s. It goes to wildly unpredictable places. It has a fantastic fast pace that makes the 160-minute runtime fly by. Chalamet is yet again at the top of his game, giving his best performance to date. The score and needle drops are also award-worthy. If you liked UNCUT GEMS, you’ll love MARTY SUPREME. There’s legendary cinematography by legendary cinematographer Darius Khondji. A movie can get away with having an unlikable character if there’s something about them that’s fascinating. Marty is supremely that. Overall, MARTY SUPREME is a chaotic ride that’s entertaining and crowd-pleasing the entire way through, and it might just be in my top 10 of 2025. Remember, dream big, but don’t lose what matters most to you in the process. Happy new year!

The spiritual successor to Uncut Gems, this movie has a ton of energy, great performances, a strong script, a beautiful look... it's kind of the full package. What I loved the most was the depth of nearly all the characters; everyone seemed to be living their own lives in this world, not just living to assist the protagonist. Who knew a movie about pingpong could be so engaging?

greatness was pursued, greatness was achieved

no me cargan las peliculas mucho menos lo demas.

es muy buena

Seria absolutamente incrível caso esse fosse meu primeiro filme de qualquer um dos Safdie, mas continua sendo animal por ser tão mirabolante e sem limites, entretenimento de primeira, e sim, acho que o Chalamet perdeu uma grande chance aqui, mas quem sabe na próxima.

DEJENLA VER ALV

Es una persecusión constante con un ritmo frenético que me mantuvo entretenido y al borde del asiento durante los 149min de duración, los cuales se me pasaron volando y nisiquiera noté. Me encantó, la actuación de Timothée estuvo fantástica. Salí totalmente eufórico de la sala de cine.

Todos los universos que construye Josh Safdie son vertiginosos. A golpes de edición, plano tras plano, la historia avanza sin puntos muertos ni espacios para la reflexión. Cada bloque narrativo prescinde de las transiciones. No hay demoras, solo comienzo y final, sin elipsis.
Marty Supreme es una película que se reinventa cada treinta minutos. Aun con el pulso trastocado, tiene la precisión suficiente como para no dejar ningún hilo narrativo suelto.
El carácter pedante de Timothée Chalamet es ideal para el personaje. Entre la seducción y el rechazo transcurre todo.
Grandes cameos de Abel Ferrara y David Mamet, y siempre es un placer reencontrarse con Fran Drescher.
Al igual que Uncut Gems es un cine que no da respiro ni lo pide. Ganas de más!
