Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh shared a glowing review of the film on X, citing many of its perceived inspirations. He wrote<\/a>, \u201c\u2018Marty Supreme\u2019 is \u2018Uncut Gems\u2019 meets \u2018The Catcher in the Rye\u2019 meets \u2018Jerry Maguire,\u2019 carried by Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s best performance yet. I loved it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n Discussing Film chairman Diego Andaluz echoed the praise. He called \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d Safdie\u2019s \u201cbest film yet,\u201d giving particular praise to Chalamet in the starring role.<\/p>\n \u201cA kinetic odyssey that plays like a deranged cross between \u2018Catch Me If You Can\u2019 & \u2018Uncut Gems,\u2019 he wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cTimoth\u00e9e Chalamet delivers the performance of a lifetime in this unforgettable, awe-inspiring cinematic tour-de-force that fires on all cylinders.\u201d<\/p>\n Senior Hollywood Reporter writer David Canfield deemed Chalamet\u2019s turn as ping-pong legend Marty Mauser a \u201ccareer-best performance.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018Marty Supreme\u2019: Major, exhilarating filmmaking from Josh Safdie,\u201d he shared on X.<\/a> \u201cTimoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s career-best performance\u2014he was born to play this guy\u2014with a tremendous Odessa A\u2019Zion leading a superb supporting cast. It\u2019s a wow.\u201d<\/p>\n Entertainment journalist David Crow was also full of praise for \u201cMarty Supreme.\u201d He wrote on X<\/a>, \u201c\u2018Marty Supreme\u2019 is an absolute blast of adrenaline and the follow-up to \u2018Uncut Gems\u2019 we\u2019ve been craving. Just as demented and tense, but drunk on the confidence of youth and the arrogance to believe that talent and charm is enough. As a piece of cinema it sure as hell is.\u201d<\/p>\n Directed by Josh Safdie, who previously co-directed A24 darlings \u201cGood Time\u201d and \u201cUncut Gems\u201d with his brother Benny Safdie, \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d stars Chalamet as a ping pong phenom whose life takes complicated turns as he pursues a championship overseas. The supporting cast includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A\u2019zion, Kevin O\u2019Leary, Tyler the Creator, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher.<\/p>\n The short but tantalizing synopsis for the movie from A24 reads: \u201cMarty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d is A24\u2019s big Christmas release and is reportedly one of their priciest original movies to date. The film has been making headlines for quite some time as Chalamet and Paltrow were photographed passionately kissing while filming a scene for the movie last year. Paltrow went on to tell Vanity Fair<\/a>\u00a0that her character has \u201ca lot of sex\u201d with Chalamet\u2019s character in the movie, and they told the film\u2019s intimacy coordinator to \u201cstep back a little\u201d during production.<\/p>\n \u201cWe said, \u2018I think we\u2019re good. You can step a little bit back,\u2019 \u201d Paltrow added. \u201cI don\u2019t know how it is for kids who are starting out, but\u2026if someone is like, \u2018Okay, and then he\u2019s going to put his hand\u00a0here,\u2019 I would feel, as an artist, very stifled by that.\u201d<\/p>\n A24 will open \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d in theaters Dec. 25.<\/p>\n Best of Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Variety’s Newsletter<\/a>.
