Marty Supreme review: Timothée Chalamet's ping-pong comedy is 'fresh, funny and exhilarating'
On December 18, A24 Films will release Marty Supreme on 70mm in select theaters and nationwide on December 25, starring Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Tyler Okonma in a 2-hour 29-minute film.
Set in 1952, the film places Marty Mauser’s ambitions amid post-war immigrant life, referencing that six million Jews weren’t slaughtered for petty commerce.
After a shock loss to Koto Endo, Marty returns to New York owing $1,500 in fines and hustles with Wally before racing to arrange a rematch in Japan.
After its New York Film Festival premiere, Marty Supreme is moving into awards season with critics praising Timothée Chalamet’s career-defining performance and Josh Safdie’s direction.
Shot in warm 35mm, the film highlights Darius Khondji’s cinematography, Daniel Lopatin’s synth-driven score, an 1980s pop soundtrack, and over 100 characters in its dense ensemble.
