- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: A movie this sprawling and propulsive requires surgical precision. Safdie, Chalamet, and the rest of the production deliver exactly as needed.
- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Marty Supreme, while long, is a thrilling, fast-paced and wild film. With simply brilliant performances from its cast, Marty Supreme dominates the screen and charms the viewer.
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Josh Safdie’s first solo directorial effort is unlike any other movie this year, or maybe even this century. Thanks to its breakneck storytelling, a magnificent performance by Chalamet, and countless intangibles that Safdie employs expertly, the film smacks viewers in the face repeatedly and demands that they come back for more.
- Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: We learn a lot about Marty in the film’s first few minutes…opening credits which feature hard charging sperm fertilizing an egg which turns into a ping pong ball a microcosm of the entire film.
- Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho
- Excerpt: Marty Supreme is a lot of fun, with many great supporting performances as stellar as its lead.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Imagery at the Movies
- Excerpt: Once the viewer loses count of how many times the protagonist’s plan backfires, the narrative loses significance. The redundancy of a recycled plot device becomes predictable and tiresome.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Channels the hustle of a sports myth while inventing something far more interesting: a narcissist propelled by hubris and charm. Timothée Chalamet’s character is impossible to root for, yet impossible to look away from.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Timothée Chalamet slays it in the greatest table-tennis movie ever made.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: I found myself drawn in by the performances and the overall arc of Marty’s journey, yet never fully transported by the movie.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: There’s too much happening. Yes, it conveniently meshes to give each insane cameo purpose, but more as an exhilarating stunt than anything else. That’s great for a technical showcase, but I could only invest in Odessa A’zion’s Rachel. Intentionally so.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: I was entirely on board with everything Marty Supreme had to offer. The film plays like a big-budget arthouse roller coaster ride, and I would take another ticket in an instant.
- Matt Oakes @
- Excerpt: Josh Safdie proves he was the chosen one with ‘Marty Supreme’, a chaos-riddled epic about a scumbag ping-pong player trying to scheme his way into proving that he’s the world’s greatest. Chalamet is outstanding in this singularly tumultuous and deeply funny vision of going all in on your dreams.
- Christopher Reed @ Hammer to Nail
- Excerpt: Along the simultaneously meandering and high-strung journey to what passes for a conclusion (and a trite one at that), however, the film delivers thrills that mostly make up for its shortcomings, anchored by Chalamet’s riveting performance. Whatever else may happen, he serves like a winner.
- Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: An energetic, visually spectacular, and fascinating experience in terms of character development, with a virtually perfect ending. It is the ultimate proof that Timothée Chalamet has what it takes to become a true movie star.
