"Tricks you into thinking it'll be a normal sports movie for 30 minutes before evolving into the most batshit, nightmarish, Safdie-esque Safdie comedy of errors to date.” James Schaffrillas, Letterboxd (2016)

"Marty Mauser, the irrepressible hero of Josh Safdie's electrifying new movie, is rocketing toward his American dream at the speed of sound, running and racing while working every conceivable angle. It's 1952 New York, and Marty – played with ferocious verve and pinwheeling arms by Timothée Chalamet – is a table-tennis shark and aspiring world champion. He's a classic striver ping-ponging between worlds and loyalties, between the ties that bind and a complex freedom, between community and self." Manohla Dargis, New York Times (2025)

Timothée Chalamet begeistert als Tischtenniswunderkind und charismatischer Filou MARTY SUPREME. Unter der Regie von Josh Safdie führt uns sein weltumspannendes Abenteuer aus den Hinterhöfen von Manhattan bildgewaltig bis ins Paris, London, Kairo und Tokio der 1950er Jahre. In weiteren Rollen brillieren u.a. Gwyneth Paltrow, die hier ihr großes Leinwand-Comeback gibt, Neuentdeckung Odessa A’zion sowie Tyler Okonma – bekannt als Tyler, the Creator – in seiner ersten Kinorolle.

“This propulsively entertaining, bracingly amoral character study is powered by Timothee Chalamet's performance as a despicable egoist who happily manipulates those around him. Much like Safdie's previous features "Good Time" and "Uncut Gems" (both co-directed with younger brother Benny), MARTY SUPREME makes no apologies for its self-centred antihero, and the result is a picture that's as swaggering as its titular athlete." Tim Grierson, ScreenDaily (2025)
