3 min readNew DelhiFeb 6, 2026 08:26 PM IST The awards season is almost about to come to a close with the Oscars and the BAFTAs right around the corner. During this season, director Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme is currently being considered as one of the favourites for the big awards. However, the dream of bagging the big awards seems to be going up in smoke, as controversies start to surround director Josh Safdie. One of them is the question around the origins of the story of Marty Supreme. Yes, the film isn’t a page-by-page copy of real-life table tennis player Marty Reisman’s life, but there are too many similarities to simply let it go without question. According to a report by THR, the family of Reisman talked to the Daily Mail and said that they never blessed the movie or its story. They said that the studio behind the film, A24, “profited while externalising harm and invoked Marty’s name without attribution or compensation.” ALSO READ: The Fall Off album review: J Cole doesn’t want …

Movie Review: An electric Timothée Chalamet is the consummate striver in propulsive ‘Marty Supreme’

Movie Review: An electric Timothée Chalamet is the consummate striver in propulsive ‘Marty Supreme’

“Everybody wants to rule the world,” goes the Tears for Fears song we hear at a key point in “Marty Supreme,” Josh Safdie’s nerve-busting adrenaline jolt of a movie starring a never-better Timothée Chalamet. Movie Review: An electric Timothée Chalamet is the consummate striver in propulsive ‘Marty Supreme’ But here’s the thing: everybody may want to rule the world, but not everybody truly believes they CAN.
