US EditionTimothée Chalamet Earns Career-Best Praise for Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme After Surprise NYFF Premiere
Josh Safdie’s solo directing return features Timothée Chalamet as a 1950s ping-pong prodigy in A24’s most expensive film, praised as a career-best performance.
- On Monday night, October 6, 2025, Josh Safdie's film premiered at the New York Film Festival, revealing a 1950s ping-pong drama starring Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser.
- Josh Safdie's solo return follows a split from his brother Benny Safdie; the film, co-written with Ronald Bronstein, draws loose inspiration from pro ping-pong player Marty Reisman and had a secret screening announced earlier this week by the New York Film Festival.
- Early audience reactions included a standing ovation and widespread social-media enthusiasm, with critics calling Timothée Chalamet's performance a career-best and the film electrifying.
- Strong demand at the premiere raises commercial and awards expectations for A24 and Josh Safdie, with tickets priced at $50 selling out in 19 minutes and a reported budget of $70 million.
- On December 25, 2025, Marty Supreme opens in theaters with a 160 minutes runtime; director Josh Safdie finished the cut at 2 a.m. before a work-in-progress screening under embargo.
