Timothée Chalamet’s 'Marty Supreme' Premieres at New York Film Festival, Sparks Oscar Buzz

"Marty Supreme," directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timothée Chalamet, premiered unexpectedly at the 2025 New York Film Festival to strong acclaim, generating early Oscar buzz. Set in 1950s New York, the film follows Marty Mauser, a talented but troubled ping-pong player navigating a gritty sports world filled with risky deals and personal challenges. Critics have praised the film's kinetic storytelling and Chalamet's performance, calling it his best yet and highlighting its blend of intensity and emotional depth reminiscent of Safdie's previous work like "Uncut Gems." The movie, A24's most expensive project to date, features a diverse cast including Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Fran Drescher, and Tyler the Creator, with Chalamet also serving as co-producer. Safdie completed the film just before the festival premiere, emphasizing the movie as a love letter to New York City. "Marty Supreme" is set for a wide release on December 25, 2025, and is anticipated to attract both audiences and critics with its adrenaline-fueled narrative and complex character study.
