Critics' Consensus Shifts for 'Marty Supreme'
With the release of Marty Supreme still weeks away, the early reviews have been pouring in and the consensus is shaping up to be overwhelmingly positive. The film, directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timothée Chalamet, has garnered a 96% "fresh" critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 51 reviews.
At the center of this critical acclaim is Chalamet's performance as Marty Mauser, a young table tennis champion who finds himself navigating hell and back in pursuit of greatness. Critics are singing his praises, with Variety's Peter Debruge calling it "the defining performance" of Chalamet's career, noting that he brings a level of charisma to the role that makes you want to believe in this instantly iconic character.
IndieWire's David Ehrlich also raves about Chalamet's work, stating that he delivers "one of the most colossal movie performances of the 21st century" with ease. Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney is even more effusive, declaring Marty Supreme a "wonder" and praising its kinetic portrait of a life in perpetual motion.
The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey also joins the chorus of praise for Chalamet's performance, stating that he truly is one of our greatest talents. However, The Wrap's William Bibbiani stands out as a lone critic who doesn't share this enthusiasm, giving Marty Supreme a "rotten" score and criticizing its shallow self-congratulation.
Despite some variation in tone among the critics, there's no denying that Timothée Chalamet is delivering an exceptional performance in Marty Supreme. With a strong supporting cast and direction from Josh Safdie, it seems like this sports comedy is poised to be a winner.
