viewMarty Supreme, Josh Safdie (2025)
A frenetic thrill ride beginning in the Lower East Side tenement buildings of NYC to become a globetrotting misadventure, ping-ponging across Europe, Africa, Japan, and New Jersey. Loosely based on real-life Ping Pong shark Marty Reisman, the movie is a mash-up of The Hustler and True Romance.
The plot borders on ridiculous, but the film is fueled by Timothy Chalamet’s charisma, ensnaring us into his madness. Hyper-stylized, with anachronistic needle drops, the movie feels contemporary until you see a car or a rotary phone.
Safdie assembles a cast that includes reality show stars, rappers, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
See it.

Bad year for movies. Or a bad year for me seeing movies. Award season rules push studios to cram releases at year’s end, and it's hard to keep up. I will catch up with films I missed in Jan-March.
My list, ranked, with microreviews:
1. One Battle After Another: Brilliant, has a tragic flaw
2. Sinners: Juke Joint Cinema
3. Pavements: Larry’s100 Review
