Gotta agree. MARTY SUPREME is frantic, frenetic, and fantastic.
#MartySupreme: a pulse-racing, megawatt electrical jolt. Josh Safdie subverts sports film tropes, yet has us rooting for an underdog hustler with gumption-to-spare. Timothée Chalamet delivers Oscar-worthy goods. Sublime Daniel Lopatin score & Darius Khondji cinematography
