The movie may be boring for some, but I liked it, maybe it was too long. But most importantly, the author's message is clear: being yourself is more difficult than being *gorgeous*, but that's the only real value.

@lavvist: for me, it's not boring at all and not at all protracted, although, after reading the reviews, that's exactly what I expected) An interesting film with a good story and humor. Chalamet is not my favorite in principle, but I admit that he really showed his talent here, his game impressed! 👌

The first third of the film is relatively tolerable, except for some moments like licking honey from the body. But what began after the arrival of the main character from London to New York is a hell of a thrash, a pure stream of absurd nonsense, the timing can be safely cut for at least an hour, or even better for an hour and a half, so that this "creation" at least looks complete. Timothy Chalamet and Odessa Ezion are overplaying their hand. Gwyneth Paltrow, on the contrary, does not finish playing and is simply present, the film could do without her character at all and it is unclear why he is needed, except for a couple of intimate scenes with Chalamet.

It's been a long time since I've seen literally all the characters in a movie infuriate and disgust me. The main character is just a rotten scumbag who ruins everything around him, his girlfriend matches him, their behavior is absolutely inadequate. The rich husband of Peltrow's heroine also turned out to be a rare bastard, and Chalemet's character also humiliated himself in front of him. Even the Japanese public and the local tennis player turned out to be rotten, supporting the pig-kissing farce.

The film is formally based on the biography of real tennis player Marty Raisman in order to attract attention, but the creators immediately rushed to warn that this is "a fictional original story, not a biopic." It is not surprising, because the relatives of the late Raisman could have been sued for such an image of him on the screen. Yes, Raisman was far from sinless, as he wrote in his autobiography, but not even close to as vile as shown here.

Japanese opponent Endo is also based on a real tennis player Hiroji Sato, who was not deaf, for such there is a separate Deflympic or Paralympic sport. Although there is nothing to talk about if the sports component here is purely in the background and is practically not disclosed in any way.

I thought that according to the degree of disappointment from the films of 2025, nothing would interrupt Battle after battle, but Marty the Magnificent succeeded. It seems that the creators were inspired by Battle after battle and took the wildly overrated Paul Thomas Anderson as a consultant, aiming to make something even more senseless and vile, unfortunately, they got the initial ratings for this film greatly overestimated and greatly sagged, like the same Battle after battle, everything was done cleanly in to please the "peculiar" critics to collect awards.

It pairs well with Battle after Battle. So yes, whoever didn't like her probably wouldn't like Marty either. Although, it seems to me, there are still fewer points that can annoy. They even sweetened it with honey.
For me, a minus on a minus here has given a big plus. The absolutely filthy main character and Chalamet, who is now periodically on the verge of irritation for me, turned out to be a cheerful, funny and fascinating story about returning to himself, which I already want to review.

Someone writes "nonsense", but at least this "nonsense" was interesting to watch, unlike many films that are coming out now.
It was shot in such a way that after watching it, you want to say not "I watched the movie", but "I watched the MOVIE". For example, with the recent movie "Battle after Battle" there was no such feeling at all - in some places it was boring, in some places it was disgusting, but this is definitely not the case. I don 't even know why 🤔

No matter what anyone says, Chalamet is a great actor. He's different in every movie, but in every movie it feels like he's playing himself. I didn't regret watching it, but Timoshka still has every chance of becoming one of the greats.

Great movie! The spirit of Uncut gems. There is tension, good pace, humor, tough drama.

For those who were worried about the prototype of Marty (Marty Reisman) after watching, English Esquire has prepared a good article - Marty Supreme Is Based on a True Story. It's Also Insane. I recommend it)

Without spoilers, the real Marty was fine. There were no businessmen or actresses in reality, but there was honey, bees and victories.

I really got goosebumps when the egg turned into a tennis ball. For me, it's Josh Safdie's Magnum Opus. He knows how to portray complete bastards that you empathize with 100%, but here he exceeded all my expectations. I went to a cool biopic about tennis, and I got a masterpiece journey into the world of Marty Supreme without brakes for two and a half hours. Great movie

After watching it, I immediately remembered the movie "Uncut Diamonds" with the same constant movement in the frame. Then I read that it wasn't for nothing that such a comparison appeared in my head, because it was all Safdie.

I thought Rockwell was going to kill Marty. He hinted at it directly in Japan. Marty understood everything, you can't run away from people like Rockwell, a real villain. This is not a grandfather with a knife or young bowling boys. He went to look at the child he wasn't going to raise. When everything settles down in a few months, Marty will either disappear or his body will be found.

@ploerry: because a different ending was planned first) He didn't say for nothing that he was a vampire and was born in 1601, having met many such Marty Mauser
As usual, I Googled at the end of the session to see if there were any scenes in the film after the credits or during the credits, but it turned out that in the very finale Milton Rockwell was supposed to appear behind the aged Marty and bite him in the neck, but because of the ending that we got, it turned out to be the usual peculiar threat.
.. The director added that the vampire version would really fit into the theme of the film.
"... The feeling of timelessness is what anarchism does. The past haunts the future, the future haunts the past," the author added.

the most boring movie with the most disgusting gg and a mediocre Chalamet performance. He overplayed his hand a lot, it's just impossible. The Bob Dylan biopic was much more interesting (I didn't think I'd say this, lol). I don't understand those who say that Chalamet's performance here is a masterpiece and so on. and they gave me a globe for it...
full of unnecessary scenes that don't affect the plot in any way. I could swing my ass to the spanking scene with a racket! otherwise, it's the same as in CMBYN, only Chalame is already 30.
What's the Big Dream? I got hung up on the Japanese, and I didn't even beat him in a local tournament. The theme of the orange balloons was never revealed.
The scene at the end... all the time he was denying the baby, and then he burst into tears. You absolutely do not believe in all this

@Vakshja: that's right, the main character has not changed in any way during the entire film, despite all the so-called "life difficulties" shown, as he was rotten and remained. My friend is the same. It's not hard to imagine how they will raise a child, if they do it at all, and not get rid of him in a week or a month when they get tired of all this parenting.

the film is really very long and may seem a bit boring, but in terms of working out all the smallest details in various scenes it was good. moreover, many of them are terribly unpleasant and vile..
but even then, thanks to them and a pretty good acting, it was strong.

Chalamet is quite a shot. I don't really like him as an actor, but he did his best in this movie. He runs like a tank for himself and his ideas. I charged up the whole range of emotions and pissed off pzdc..
I wouldn't be surprised if he snatches an Oscar for that's all..

in general, emotions are very specific in the end. the aftertaste is strange, and there are a lot of emotions of different kinds.
but the film is too long and oversaturated with unnecessary details.

A good movie about a not-so-good person)

Excellent musical accompaniment. Specially written music for the film by composer Daniel Lopatin works great for the mood of different scenes. The songs of Alphaville, New Order, Tears for fears and others also perfectly harmonize with the film.

The camera work and various techniques are cool. The transition from an egg to a ping pong ball is just freaky. The grainy retro image perfectly recreates the style of the middle of the last century. The cut from Marty and his friend's exhibition games is amazing. The game against the navy seal is the best in the whole movie) But seriously, the ragged dynamic style of shooting the games themselves works great for the effect of presence, which is why sports tension is easily felt through the screen.

The past year has not been very generous with interesting movies, so at the upcoming Oscars, I think I'll stick to Chalamet. Because he perfectly showed a character who is extremely difficult to empathize with throughout almost the entire film. And if at first it seemed to me that Marty was just an assertive athlete who wanted to attract a lot of attention to table tennis by promoting his personal brand and good gaming skills, then very soon it becomes clear that in fact he is just an extremely unpleasant person with megalomania who destroys himself and everyone who happens to be nearby. and he believes Marty's words for at least a couple of seconds. And such a repulsive image is entirely due to Timothy.

As a result: the film is excellent, Chalamet is excellent in his role, congratulations to Tyler Kreiter on his full-fledged big film debut. The entire promotion of the film, starting with the memes about Esdeekid and ending with the themed merch and video from the top of the Sphere in Las Vegas, was definitely worth it)

Well, Chalamet is certainly talented as an actor!

a separate fat (like not Chalame's ass) like for the Creator❤

however, the film did not leave a wow impression: a lot of unnecessary plots, a stretched timeline + it seemed to me that the main ideology was the message "do not run away from yourself, accept yourself and life as it is," but I did not see a logical conclusion to this thought or an upgrade of the character by the end credits

There's so much action out of place in the middle of the movie that it just got boring. I sat in the cinema and counted down the minutes to the end. The movie can only be watched for the sake of the 50s atmosphere and the actors. the plot is lame, there are a lot of questions left after watching. I won't review it.

@macabre: I also want to point out one thing, Chalamet's staff is disgusting. I couldn't empathize with him. In my vision, he is such a narcissistic young man that he could not change 180 degrees abruptly in two weeks, understand a lot of things and admit that he was too narcissistic. It doesn't happen that way. Yes, people change, but Marty didn't have that much time to dig into himself. he has a dog, a pregnant girlfriend, no money, or something else. Back and forth, but there's no point

And who is the director? You can find out on the website or in the application, I don't understand. I'm not going to watch a movie anyway, Sax. Chalamet should play a gay man or a drug addict or a gay drug addict, so to speak, he easily enters the character)

the message of the film remained unclear to me. GG is a complete bastard for 2 hours and 20 minutes and suddenly he rethinks something in the last 10 minutes and something human wakes up in him.
It feels like either the ending was thought to be different, or the editing prioritized violence rather than revealing how the GG is changing. Overall, it's OK, but there's no positive aftertaste from the film.

I'm surprised that few people have seen the movie here. It's even a little sad, especially if you look at what's going on in the comments under "Maid*"..

Personally, I have never had the desire to get into my phone and do something at the same time. Chalamet just catches the eye here.

There were no special expectations from the film. I just thought that sports would be in the center of the plot, and everything could fall into boredom. But no, the sport was pushed to the background and a cheerful story was shown.

@pavlovdv22: This is an author's film, which is mostly a festival film, and it attracts fewer audiences. The Maid is a normal movie, but it's a typical pop movie, especially since it's the same in the book and specifically hypes on a specific topic. For me, it's better this way, and you can enjoy a big movie, savor it, feel it and not hear howls about the movie from every iron, rils, tiktok and other game.

If we talk about the film, how about the work:
Chalamet did a great job and, in my opinion, received a well-deserved Globe. Is he worthy of an Oscar? Compared to his rivals, yes, but putting him in line with those who already have an Oscar is questionable.
The directing and the team's bot are also excellent. The movie was comfortable to watch and listen to, the picture was beautiful and I didn't want to pick up the phone.
One of the disadvantages is the delay. It seems to me that it would be possible to shorten it)

But if we talk about the character himself, Marty is terrible. Knocked up a girl, got her into trouble, cheated, framed her friends and Kay. He was only looking for financial gain in everything, oh, how I was annoyed by the moment when he begged Kay for jewelry!) And not only this moment) In general, it seemed that he had terrible ADHD. In short, an unpleasant type.
Going to his dream is commendable, of course, but the methods he chose...?
But I was surprised that in the final they didn't make a banal twist with his unexpected and desired victory. That's what I really liked. And not because I just rinsed it, but because it's not a cliche))
Well, the fact that he abruptly fell in love with this child... I don't believe it))

The movie is good. Indeed, it can be partly compared to "Battle after Battle" because of the general structure of the film and the line of the character, who experiences this very "battle after battle" to his goal every time. I've watched a couple more projects at Safdie's, and I've liked this one the most so far. But I like his style and shooting style. Musical accompaniment and cinematography, editing are always kept in such suspense, a domestic thriller)

Movies are definitely for the amateur. The timing is great, but I watched it with pleasure and never got bored. Visual, acting, and humor keep you going from start to finish.
Chalamet played well. If so many people write about what a vile and unpleasant hero he is, that's already a victory)) You can treat him in different ways, but in all his projects he gives his best, I think the Oscar 2026 will be his.

As for the "antihero Marty" himself, I think Safdie presented him as such a trickster, a man with an inflated ego, so fanatical of his idea of fix to show from the inside how much a person can be burning on the outside and empty on the inside. We are initially told that his life is not sugar, and all he can do is survive, lie, go over his head. How much Marty is willing to sink to the bottom, to humiliate himself. And on the other hand, the price of his victory and the desire to recoup. By the way, all the characters here use it, just like him. I think this is quite a life situation, so from what sides and from what angle to look at it all.

I did not view the scene with the child through the prism of harsh love or tenderness, but rather as the fact that for the first time he did not need to prove something to someone, deserve recognition, defend his ego, fight for his place. Perhaps he felt that there was more to him than his own personality. Marty is a loner who also avoided responsibility and sincere affection. And then there's exhaustion and personal scrapping, perhaps. He was already tired of being in such a state of endless struggle with the world, running away from problems. Imho.

The actors did it, okay
, half of the people are praising it just because the film has 9 Oscar nominations, that's how the subconscious works
. I didn't see anything Oscar-winning. Well, like all the films that get on the list every year, because the Oscar has long lost its significance, this can also include the fact that those who choose the winner, they don't even watch movies, it's just that
the visual needs to be ordinary, to match those years. I'll single out, well, except that Chalamet was able to really act out the way that I hated GG. apparently his best male role. Oh, well, the music fits the picture. "The Maid" was much more interesting to me. and "Battle after battle" is somehow clearer. Cron 2.30 is not justified, I watched it in three passes. I wouldn't recommend it to any of my own people.

About nothing. Critics and bloggers described some kind of adrenaline rush and the monstrous hero Timati Shyamalan, but in fact there is nothing like that here. After a relatively brisk introduction, the film pauses, loses pace, and does not return to form.

The main character is an unremarkable, perpetually sweaty fool with the appearance of an eleventh-grader. Even the bumps on the cheeks from acne are visible. The epitome of the archetype of a fan of dropping a mower on slots.

I finally became convinced that jerking off to the Safdie brothers is the psychosis of A24 marketers and film critics on their payroll. They bought them all with an aesthetic imitation of classic films, but in reality there is just a vacuum of meanings and emotions, insects scurrying on the table with rotten leftovers.

And damn, the movie really left me at a loss. On the one hand, there is Spanish shame. For what the main character, who... Well, you know everything yourself. On the other hand, it really keeps you on your toes. Because — I want this character to fail (see above, why), on the other hand — but damn, then it turns out that all the people around him suffered in vain? And maybe a movie about failure? Or not, and the rules of great cinema are more important. So a clash in the finals is a really unpredictable moment. The case when the authors of the film fulfilled their mission very coolly. It turns out that some part of you wants this narcissist and manipulator to lose, and the other wolf does not believe that the hero can lose in the end. Well, he's the boss here. Why should we tell the story of losing?

And then, when the movie is finished, you're like that, sitting and thinking — what if... Well, this movie was really about losing. After all, what is this character left with now? What's ahead for him? Where can he go next? And... anyway, it was hard for me to watch this movie, but he really won't let go until the very end.

Well, in general, it's not a bad movie, but probably if it hadn't been for Gwyneth Paltrow, I would have lowered the score for sure, but she seemed to have saved the situation. Well, actually Timothy played quite well, but as if the film was too long and a little boring. however, this film is not like other sports, it is no longer about sports, but about life itself - the meaning is generally present. It'll do for the evening

Who else but Timothy Chalamet could make me stare at an unknown (to me) ping-pong player for 2 and a half hours, who also turns out to be not a very pleasant person. The film is cheerful, even chaotic in the second part and sometimes not very pleasant. Especially about the dog (💔). Timothy himself played well, there's no arguing. Tyler the creator also smiled

I wonder what kind of disease? I would like some psychologist to give a professional assessment and draw up a portrait of Marty's character in clever words. Otherwise, all I have on my tongue is "an asshole who spits on everyone around him and goes over their heads." I want a straight characterization of the character to be laid out on the shelves. It would be interesting to read.

@san: Here's what AI says:
an ambitious, talented, and narcissistic table tennis player obsessed with fame in the 1950s. The hero goes to the dream "head over heels", using fraud and manipulation, but is admired for his incredible determination and charisma. Marty is shown as a brilliant, but morally ambiguous, selfish character.

@skazo4huk: in principle, it's good, but I wouldn't say that I admired him for his charisma. I didn't notice the charisma.

This is probably my favorite Timothy Chalamet movie. It was an absolute mess that made me laugh, cry, and rejoice.

It's hard to describe the emotions after watching it, it's one of those big movies, either he got into you or he didn't. I couldn't tear myself away, it was a great movie from beginning to end. The actors got into the images for me, even very much, it also hooked me. The picture is not about sports, but about people, about a dream, about the purpose of life and all the ways to achieve it. But as happens in life, everything is far from rosy and people are still bastards. Marty seems disgusting and cheeky to many, but I understand him. He did everything he could and how he could. It's a very cool role for Timothy, but it's the best of his career so far.

@Sich666: Of course that's right Timothy) May Chalamet forgive me that, alas, his name is one letter away from "nedorapera."

The first thing I want to write is: what the fuck is the splendor of this Marty?

Chalamet's character will definitely go down in movie history as the most vile, slippery, selfish, arrogant, dodgy, tactless, arrogant and just plain unpleasant type. That's the kind of person this movie is about.

A sports drama? What's in it from sports? You've played ping-pong with a fan a couple of times, and you can already go to the Oscars?

Chalamet was crying there that just a guy from the street couldn't become an actor, that he had to learn how to do it. You see, he's been training for this role for 5 years. And what did you give away in the movie with your training, Timothy?

Well, this movie is not about sports at all. There's so little of him there that his training sessions could have been cut down to one week, and we would have seen the same thing in the frame. Well, there's no brilliant skill, no honed technique, or anything else.

It was his nagging in the interview that brought me out even more after watching the movie. What is it about? What kind of training? Does the name Christian Bale mean anything to him? Did he watch "The Machinist" or "The Fighter"? Maybe the Dallas Buyers Club saw where McConaughey and Leto were really preparing for the role?

It's not enough to grow a mustache, you know.

Oh, okay.

To be fair, Chalamet is far from mediocre. That's not what I'm talking about. He succeeds in dramatic roles with a bang. It's about the movie itself - it's boring to the point of outrage. He's not talking about sports, and he didn't demand all those "sacrifices" from Chalamet that he keeps shouting about.

By the way, the Japanese who played Marty's opponent, Koto Kawaguchi, is just lovely. He is a professional ping pong player, and, like his character in the film, is deaf.

@sasharomance: The promo of the film had a really bad effect on the film, it turned out to be a very mediocre pseudo-biographical film.

It's been a long time since I've wanted to hit the main character almost every 10 minutes of the running time. In general, despite the long running time, it was surprisingly not boring to watch (apparently, the interest worked here, what kind of Spanish shame would happen to gg in the next scene). In general, during the viewing, the most dissonant thing was the more modern music that was not suitable for the time passage, which plays in the background - hence I have some kind of feeling as if the narrator was unreliable.

For two hours, you're torn between wanting Marty to have at least something worked out as planned (because he's the protagonist, you're already rooting for him automatically and hoping that your mind will wake up there) and for Marty to be given a good slap in his insolent face. Just an amazingly nasty, arrogant and selfish character.

For the last half hour, all that remains is the desire for the worst for him, there is no hope of correction left, and you applaud the heroes who fight back.

It's a good movie, very cheerful for its timing.

For all my love for Chalamet, his "ugly" role somehow doesn't suit him. the film follows the path of “uncut gems” only in the setting of the 50s, the same Jewish community, fights over money, relationship problems, etc. such a cliched film... the Safdie brothers are even repeated 🥲 good time with Pattinson I liked it better, sorry not sorry

I haven't watched the movie, but I'm sure it will be an Obsession, only instead of the drums, there will be ping-pong

@DerArto: I watched the movie, and I take it back. It doesn't look like an Obsession at all. Even more like "Catch me if you can"

The film is really stretched, and some moments seemed superfluous. They could have shown the ending more and in general, so that the ending was in the middle, not at the end... because I wonder what will happen next, because there was a slight hint that Marty did not just come back to see the child, as there are threats... because his behavior contradicts that he is a father, etc., I am not sure that he is just good and loves his wife...

like.
I felt almost the entire spectrum of emotions
and there were often moments of Spanish shame
but bl."For the sake of such an end, it's worth the whole journey, no matter how stupid it is, no matter how many mistakes are made.

In the end, I was honestly rooting for Endo.

But the film was shot perfectly, of course, and it's hard to tear yourself away. Even though they keep showing scum. And the plot is lame for all its branches.
I can't believe the ending at all.

Timothy is very good here!

In general, it's an interesting film, at the beginning it seems like you're watching another "from dirt to princes", but not everything is so simple (and that's good)
