Review: Timothee Chalamet Supersizes Career in 'Marty Supreme'

Timothée Chalamet’s energetic performance in Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, marks a career milestone in a film blending 1970s style with international table-tennis hustle.

  • This year, Timothée Chalamet delivers a seizing, career‑elevating performance in Marty Supreme, refusing to hold back onscreen, critics say the film is a kinetic achievement demanding attention.

  • Reviewers called the film a kinetic achievement that towers over other 2025 releases, and audiences openly cheer when the lead escapes peril, Sioux City Journal reviewer Bruce Miller observed.
  • Safdie packs the film with acting newcomers who follow Timothée Chalamet's lead, and his rapid 'what next?' sequences let Chalamet revel in quick turns, highlighting skills shaping their next projects.
