Marty Supreme
Spoilers! There's plenty to discuss regarding 2025's MARTY SUPREME, but in the end it all boils down to whether you are willing to spend two and one-half with an unrepentant asshole. An opportunistic, selfish, irresponsible, manipulative, larcenous, dishonest, and stubborn young man who lets nothing stand in the way of achieving his goal of fame and its spoils. Far beyond mere chutzpah. Some viewers may cite the very last scene, where our antihero appears to have found a conscience and a heart. I didn't buy it. Nothing in director/co-writer Josh Safdie's movie or Timothee Chalamet's performance suggested that the character would arrive at such an enlightening, at least not without some strings attached. An angle for him. The advance word was that MARTY SUPREME was another loud, frantic, and relentless New York drama ala GOOD TIME and UNCUT GEMS from the Safdie stable. Eh, sometimes. Not a sustained migraine like the earlier movies....
