Reviews are out for \u201cUncut Gems\u201d and \u201cGood Time\u201d co-director Josh Safdie\u2019s kinetic drama, the ping pong-themed \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d starring Timothee Chalamet, and the results are labelling it one of the year\u2019s best films.<\/p>\n

With 55 reviews counted it sits at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> while on Metacritic<\/a> it stands at 88\/100. On the latter, it currently ranks as the eighth-highest-rated film of the year and the second-best wide release behind only \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d (95) and ahead of \u201cBlack Bag\u201d (85). <\/p>\n

That suggests it\u2019s going to sit high on end-of-year lists along with such lauded 2025 arthouse films as \u201cThe Secret Agent,\u201d \u201cIt Was Just an Accident,\u201d \u201cSentimental Value,\u201d \u201cCactus Pears,\u201d and \u201cNo Other Choice\u201d.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a sampling of reviews:<\/p>\n

\u201cChalamet makes one of the most colossal movie performances of the 21st century seem as natural as a lay-up.\u201d \u2013 David Ehrlich, Indiewire<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is rather that the film is itself ping pong; the rhythm and spirit of table tennis is in every scene and the mesmeric effect of the spectacular, clattering, dizzying back-and-forth.\u201d \u2013 Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFor its entire two and a half hours \u2014 which whips past in what feels like mere minutes \u2014 Safdie\u2019s film had me vibrating like a tuning fork. It\u2019s a joyous salute to life\u2019s beautiful cacophony.\u201d \u2013 Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFew works in modern Hollywood have leaned into the folly of youth with such tremendous gusto, and even fewer have been fueled by such non-stop adrenaline, en route to such joyful catharsis. There\u2019s nothing quite like it.\u201d \u2013 Siddhant Adlakha, Decider<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA melt-the-screen-down-to-gold performance. With the steamroller audacity of his character, Chalamet has staked a massively confident claim for his first Oscar. If you must gamble, lay it all on Chalamet. Now.\u201d \u2013 Nick Howells, London Evening Standard<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the defining performance of his still-burgeoning career, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet \u2014 makes you want to believe in this instantly iconic character too \u2026 even if sometimes you also want to strangle him.\u201d \u2013 Peter DeBruge, Variety<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA manic, madcap odyssey that is as exhilarating as it is exhausting, Marty Supreme is operating on a level of ballsy absurdity that no other movie this year can dream of touching.\u201d \u2013 Hoai-Tran Bui, Inverse<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA panic-attack ping-pong movie that ends with a cloying and almost completely unsatisfying mixed message. Neither Marty nor the film ever acknowledges that he\u2019s a monster and that he destroys almost every life he touches\u2026 It\u2019s shallow self-congratulation for American moxie at the expense of everyone and everything around us.\u201d \u2013 William Bibbiani, The Wrap<\/a><\/p>\n

Chalamet leads the cast as the title character alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A\u2019zion, Kevin O\u2019Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher. \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d opens in cinemas on December 25th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A24 Reviews are out for \u201cUncut Gems\u201d and \u201cGood Time\u201d co-director Josh Safdie\u2019s kinetic drama, the ping pong-themed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,142132,134,344],"class_list":{"0":"post-322083","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-bigslider","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
