9 Oscar Nominations
Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.
Marty Supreme arrives as one of the most enthusiastically received films of its year, with nearly universal praise for Timothée Chalamet's performance — widely called the best of his career and measured against legends like Pacino and De Niro — and for Josh Safdie's kinetic, gonzo direction. The minority dissent, though, is pointed: a handful of critics found the film's relentless amorality exhausting and its story increasingly arbitrary, arguing that all the frenetic energy substitutes for genuine emotional depth.
“one of the most colossal movie performances of the 21st century”
David Ehrlich·IndieWire
“a marathon sprint of gonzo calamities and uproar”
Peter Bradshaw·The Guardian
“Marty Supreme offers a clear-eyed look at the hollow promise of American self-reliance. [Safdie and Bronstein] see through the terminology used to sell outsiders on social advancement—purpose, obligation, sacrifice—as tools that reinforce the stranglehold of the rich.”
Marshall Shaffer·Slant Magazine
“For Safdie, a movie seems to be just an excuse for a million and one digressions and distractions; he'll throw anything at the wall to see if it sticks.”
Stephanie Zacharek·Time
“a constant state of motion even when standing still.”
