Marty Supreme Discussion Timothée Chalamet, Safdie Chaos, and a Movie That Refuses to Feel Finished

Описание: Marty Supreme is one of those movies that’s frustrating not because it’s bad, but because it feels like it’s almost something great.

Walking out of the theater, I didn’t know how I felt — and honestly, I still don’t. On one hand, the movie is incredibly watchable. The performances are strong, the pacing keeps you locked in, and the table-tennis sequences are genuinely intense. On the other hand, the movie refuses to give you the emotional release you’re waiting for.

The biggest issue for me is that Marty never really pays for anything. He lies, manipulates, avoids responsibility, and leaves destruction in his wake — and the worst thing that happens to him is a slap on the wrist. That might be intentional, but it makes the ending feel hollow. There’s no real reckoning, no growth that feels earned.

Toast made a great point during the discussion: Marty works better as a folklore figure than a biographical one. The movie hints at exaggeration, myth-making, and storytelling — but it never fully commits to that idea. Because of that, the extreme behavior feels too real to excuse and too unrealistic to fully believe.

Timothée Chalamet is clearly all-in, maybe more than he’s ever been. And while there are moments where that commitment shines, there are also moments where it feels like the performance overwhelms the character. I wanted just a little more distance — a little more clarity on who Marty really is beneath the confidence.

Where the movie succeeds is in creating discomfort. It forces you to sit with a character who is charming, talented, and deeply selfish. It asks whether ambition alone is enough to root for someone — and never gives you a clean answer.

By the end, Marty Supreme feels like a movie that wants you to argue about it more than it wants you to love it. And while that’s not nothing, it also makes it hard to fully recommend.

Final Pop Ratings

Toast: 4.25
Conflicted, frustrating, but packed with unforgettable moments and bold ideas.

Stetson: 3.7
Well-made and interesting, but missing the connective tissue that would have made it great.

Marty Supreme isn’t a movie about winning — it’s about getting away with it. And whether that works for you will probably depend on how much patience you have for charm without consequence.
