In 1950s New York, there’s this guy named Marty Mauser. By day, he sells shoes to make ends meet, but his heart’s really all about ping-pong. He’s got a bit of a gambling habit and dreams bigger than anyone would expect—to be the top table tennis player around. Even if people don’t take him seriously, Marty’s sure he’ll make it big.

Marty’s wild ride is like a mix of scams and victories. Along the way, two amazing women—Carlon and Rachel—come into his life and they shake things up in unexpected ways. But chasing glory isn’t always peachy; Marty faces some tough times, losing cash, love, and even some fame.

Critics are loving this film! Clayton Davis calls it “a quirky blend of comedy, action, and sports,” while David Canfield describes it as “thrilling.” From Jake Coyle’s perspective? It’s a “crazy tribute to determined dreamers.”

The movie’s got this cool ’80s Hollywood vibe with fast editing that keeps you on edge. It’s not the usual biopic—it’s more like an adrenaline-pumping adventure that brings new life to scam movies in America.

The story dives into the ups and downs of real-life ping-pong legend Marty Reisman from back in the day. He was bold, sometimes sneaky with his bets on himself losing to fool bookies—a move that cost him serious suspensions—even if he racked up plenty of titles along the way.

And oh yeah, it’s directed by Josh Safdie from New York—you might know him for catching every little detail that makes stories pop!
Hey, guess what? The other half of the dynamic Safdie brother duo is back directing solo! After snagging a Silver Lion for *The Smashing Machine* at Venice’s festival, he jumped into this new flick that’s about a Jewish New Yorker. It’s got this killer NY-born actor leading the show.

Now, Ronald Bronstein (you know, he’s buddies with the Safdies and usually edits their stuff) pitched in big time on this one—writing and producing alongside our director friend. A24 is all-in on this movie. We’re talking $70 million all-in! Filming wrapped up both in bustling NYC and across the ocean in Japan early ’25.

They’ve got their eyes set on stirring things up at the 2026 Oscars last minute, hoping to grab some major wins for everyone involved. The ace up their sleeve? Timothée Chalamet! The guy’s been diving deep into roles lately. He even spent a ton of time playing ping pong to get into character. Folks say his performance might just land him that third Oscar nomination before turning 31—a club James Dean sort of heads up!

So yeah, everyone’s buzzing because maybe this is finally Timmy’s year to take home that Best Actor Oscar after near-wins with movies like *Call Me by Your Name*. With only one screening so far, people can’t stop talking about it already!
Alright, so here’s the scoop on this upcoming movie everyone’s buzzing about. The film’s got some serious star power, with Gwyneth Paltrow playing a woman who kicks off a romance with this younger dude, Marty. She’s hoping to snag another award since her big Oscar win ages ago for Shakespeare in Love.

Odessa A’zion, who’s pretty fresh on the scene but already wowed folks with Until Dawn, is also eyeing some accolades. Meanwhile, director Abel Ferrara is stepping in front of the camera again after eight years—he’s kinda like a celebrity from NYC too. And hey, Kevin O’Leary from “Shark Tank” is giving acting a go for the first time! Plus, Tyler, the Creator joins in on the fun.

The visuals? Shot on 35mm film by Darius Khondji, so it’s got that warm and textured vibe going on. Jack Fisk handles production design—this guy’s worked with all the greats like Lynch and Scorsese. Daniel Lopatin does the music; you might know him from his soundtracks for Good Time and Uncut Gems.

Marty Supreme is aiming big; it’s A24’s ticket to owning Christmas at the box office and kicking off Awards season strong. It hits theaters in the US right on December 25th and drops later in Italy to dodge clashing with some heavy hitters like Buen Camino and Avatar: Fire and Ashes. Exciting times ahead!
