The Take
Marty Supreme delivers the rare sports-adjacent epic that actually earns its sweat. Safdie's direction and Chalamet's intensity turn toxic ambition into a propulsive character study rather than a lecture.
The film critiques the striver mindset through action and consequence instead of moralizing, keeping the story front and center.
The Verdict
Marty Supreme lands as a lean, vicious character piece that respects the audience enough to let the swings speak. Chalamet's peak feral energy and Safdie's direction make every rally count.
Watch it for the fever-dream hustle.
