Marty Supreme

[EZEtoGRU]

I saw no movies in 2025 unfortunately.  I recently decided I wanted to see some of the Academy Award nominee movies in advance of the telecast.  The only one currently available in my area was Marty Supreme with Timothee Chalamet, Gweneth Paltrow, Fran Dresher, Sandra Berhard, & Kevin O'Leary (yes the shark!).

I knew virtually nothing about the film before seeing it so I went in with no preconceived ideas.  Spoiler Alert:  you get to see Chalamet's (or his stand-in's) butt for a while. 

I won't go into a lengthy review.  Know that it is a long movie at 2 hours 29 minutes.   It was engaging for most of the film.  The actor's performances were good but not great.  Chalamet has been nominated for an Oscar but I would be surprised if he wins.  Same with the film overall.  It was good but not fantastic.   It won't win Best Picture...but it is worth seeing IMHO.

I don't see a lot of movies, but my gang went to this on Christmas. It's a lush, full production. And he gives a strong performance as a totally amoral Ping Pong savant. I think he might win, simply because many think he was robbed last year for his portrayal of Bob Dylan. I recommend the film as an entertainment...a dark comedy. But whereas I'll often watch movies again when I come across them on TV...I never need to see this one again.
