Marty Supreme's Critical Acclaim
Timothée Chalamet's new film Marty Supreme has received outstanding reviews, debuting with an impressive Rotten Tomatoes critic score of around 95-98%, positioning it as one of the highest-rated movies in Chalamet's career. This score surpasses even Dune: Part Two, making Marty Supreme a strong contender for major awards in 2026, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Chalamet. The film is inspired by the real-life table tennis player Marty Reisman and reimagines his story through the lens of a 1950s Brooklyn sports movie with a mythological undertone.
Film Details and Creative Team
Marty Supreme is directed by Josh Safdie and co-written by Ronald Bronstein, known for Uncut Gems. The movie features a cast including Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, and Tyler, the Creator. Supported by A24, it dramatizes Marty Mauser’s relentless pursuit of greatness despite being underestimated by those around him. The Safdie brothers' involvement infuses the film with a dynamic and chaotic tone reminiscent of their previous work, blending sports drama with psychological depth.
Reviews and Industry Expectations
Critics have widely praised Marty Supreme for its unique style and compelling storytelling. Todd Gilchrist of ScreenRant noted the filmmakers “transform the real story into a 1980s sports movie by way of meticulously recreated 1950s Brooklyn by way of the Greek fable of Icarus.” While one dissenting reviewer from The Wrap criticized it as a "superficial celebration of American bravado," the overall critical consensus positions the film as a major player in the awards season. It is expected to earn nominations across various categories including screenplay, directing, acting, and technical fields.
