Timothée Chalamet has become the first person to appear on top of The Sphere in Las Vegas

Goosebumps. Everywhere. #MartySupreme (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) is that film. Timothée Chalamet is that guy. Chalamet takes the high expectations swirling around this film and snaps them over his thigh like a twig. If you dare respond to this review with some ridiculous commentary about how Chalamet is thirsty for an Oscar, my friend, there’s the door. Shut up. Not now. Get out of his way. We are witnessing something important, can’t you see that? This is an original story that could not come at a more critical time for cinema. And it’s a film that left me totally, utterly, unequivocally inspired. I walked out of the theater ready to run through a brick wall. A film about the pursuit of greatness, Marty Supreme itself achieves greatness.

Timothée Chalamet plays Marty, a young table tennis player in 1952 New York. Table tennis hasn’t reached its full popularity nor has Marty reached his. Both the sport & the man’s individual trajectory are on the rise. But the problem Marty faces is that he constantly finds himself running in circles: with every step forward, he’s pulled back 2 steps back & then some. This includes Marty’s pursuit of an older but famous actress named Kay Stone (Gwyneth Paltrow), which introduces Marty to Stone’s wealthy husband, Milton Rockwell (Kevin O’Leary). The idea here is that Stone is unhappily married to Rockwell & Marty tries to wiggle his way into Rockwell’s graces to better boost his career. But make no mistake- the Rockwell storyline is but one of a handful of subplots that are driving Marty’s story. So much happens in this movie, I’m just barely touching the surface.

Josh Safdie pulls off a number of amazing things in this film, I honestly don’t know where to start. I think if there’s one thing we know about Josh at this point, it’s that he’s absolutely mastered pacing. This film’s pacing is off the charts. The runtime is about 2.5 hours, but you don’t feel any of it. That’s because, like Martin Scorsese & Paul Thomas Anderson, Safdie knows how to move a camera. His camera movements are never unnecessary or over-the-top but the rhythm in which Safdie shoots his films is special. It’s not just the camerawork that adds to the pacing, it’s the use of sound & the use of New York City- Safdie’s ultimate playground- that puts this film in first gear & never looks back. What’s more is that this a buffet of small cultural tidbits for those of us who really love cinema: famed screenwriter David Mamet has a small cameo, Penn Jillette has a role here, and even NBA Hall of Famer George Gervin is in this film. All of this- from Safdie’s pacing to every last extra he casts in this film- contributes to the vibe & atmosphere of this movie.

Many will compare Marty Supreme to Safdie’s other films, like Uncut Gems or Good Time. Those are fair comparisons & both great films to be mentioned alongside. But Marty Supreme is better than those films. The reason-being is that this is about a man’s pursuit of greatness, an individual who won’t take no for an answer, whether he’s in the right to do so or not. I think that’s what separates this from Uncut Gems or Good Time: yes, Marty is running for his life, but he’s also running toward something. That something is greatness- being the greatest table tennis player alive. And that mission, that ultimate purpose bestowed upon Marty, brings out an audacity in this film’s protagonist that we do not see in Uncut Gems or Good Time. Marty’s refusal to downplay his own greatness is the ultimate heartbeat of this film- his brash, cocky belief that he can achieve anything, which is a story that’s as old & relatable as time. It’s also his tragic flaw & what constantly puts him in harm’s way.

But when you put so much weight on the shoulders of a protagonist’s pursuit for greatness, the actor playing that character needs to knock it out of the park. Chalamet doesn’t just knock it out of the park- he knocks it out of the god damn state. It helps when you’re acting alongside Odessa A’zion & Gwyneth Paltrow, each of whom are excellent & beautiful & breathtaking in this movie. But Chalamet steps into this role like a full-blown movie star would. This a Brando-level, De Niro-level, DiCaprio-level performance from Chalamet that unquestionably warrants another Oscar nomination for Best Actor, marking his second in a row and the 3rd of his brief career. Ultimately, the takeaway is this: for those of you reading this who are part of my generation (millenials) & younger, we should all walk out of this film with a heavy dose of optimism because our generation has Chalamet. We have our guy. There’s hope for the future. The movie star is far from dead. Marty Supreme is more proof.

Expectations be damned. Believe the hype.

It took years to bring this 3-minute animation to life.

Fully hand-drawn. Self-funded.

This is the first step into a massive sci-fi/fantasy mythos I’ve been building for a decade.

Turn the sound up. 🧵

@Rumark10 @oriyenugh Bruh Japan and Mongolia kept pulling the rope super close to the gate and the shorter the rope more force was needed. BUT Korea lengthening the rope so less force was need and the angle in order to pull the gate up and consistent pulling like tug of war. It’s called physics
