“Marty Supreme is Josh Safdie’s frenetic take on a real-life tale as wild as the worlds it sprang from. Set in the rough-and-tumble Lower East Side of New York in the 1950s, the film follows the exploits of Marty Mauser (Golden Globe Best Actor winner Timothée Chalamet), a ping-pong champ hell-bent on conquering the world of table tennis. Careening from his dead-end job at a shoe store, where he hooks up with his married best friend Rachel (a breakout turn from Odessa A’zion), to the global table-tennis circuit, to glittery uptown circles (where Gwyneth Paltrow reigns as a fading actress-turned-socialite), Marty can’t stop creating chaos—even when he lands the shot.” –MoMA, The Contenders 2025
