Marty Supreme

Marty Supreme (2025)

Mart y Supreme is one of the most ambitious and energetic films arriving in 2025. Directed by Josh Safdie, the movie transforms the life of legendary table tennis player Marty Reisman into a whirlwind of comedy, drama, and sport, reimagined with the wild energy that defines the Safdie brothers’ style.

At the heart of the film is Timothée Chalamet, who plays Marty with a mix of charisma, recklessness, and obsessive drive. Marty is not just chasing ping pong victories—he is chasing fame, fortune, and a place in history. His larger than life personality, flamboyant style, and relentless self belief turn him into both a hero and a hustler in equal measure. The film follows his rise through the smoky underground clubs of New York, his entanglement with eccentric figures, and his daring pursuit of greatness at any cost.

The cast surrounding Chalamet is as unpredictable as the story itself. Gwyneth Paltrow makes a striking return as a glamorous actress drawn into Marty’s orbit, while Tyler the Creator makes his feature film debut in a surprising role. Fran Drescher, Odessa A’zion, Abel Ferrara, and even Penn Jillette add to the chaotic ensemble, giving the film a texture that is both comedic and offbeat.

Visually the movie bursts with energy. Shot on 35mm film by Darius Khondji, every frame captures the grit and glow of mid century New York. The sounds of clattering ping pong balls, crowded nightclubs, and Marty’s unshakable confidence create an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and electric.

With a budget of nearly ninety million dollars, Marty Supreme stands as A24’s boldest project to date. More than a sports biopic, it is a celebration of ambition, ego, and the strange beauty of chasing a dream, no matter how outrageous.
