Marty Supreme

Cinema w oli dom cal Great marketing set high expectations and thanks to the best Timothée Chalamet performance of his career, the film excelled. Unsure what to start with but might as well be him. Marty’s character by far carried the film in the best way possible. His choices when battling with his own self interest are so interesting, valuing his dream above his present and doing anything in his path to reach that end goal. Ruining relationships and pushing people away becomes a routine for Marty causing his character to fall deeper into his tunnel vision. Although in the end he becomes enlightened I believe that upholds his drive, completing the path he placed himself on. Supporting cast were fantastic and had minimal issues. Debut role from Tyler held above expectations, Odessa stole the show in some scenes she shared with Chaleamet and obviously Paltrow was brilliant. Shame Kevin O’Leary is shit. To be honest, due to lack of acting experience I will cut him some slack but definitely underperformed compared to the rest of the cast. Cinematography & score had zero notes. Absolutely loved the 50s period and appreciated how Safdie really brought the world to life. Especially during the chase scene when Marty is running from the police, it feels fleshed out with great set design. The only very slight issues I had, other than O’Leary, are editing and one plot point. During act two, the pace & story were a bit fierce and would benefit from drawing out some scenes a tad longer. Secondly, I wish Marty had used one of his infamous orange balls during the final match with Endo. Using the white outfits to include his ball would have been an easy addition and like I said, very small issue. Believe me, I couldn’t direct this in a billion years so what do I know. 5/5
