Marty Supreme review: the ping pong movie is very stressful

Marty Supreme review: the ping pong movie is very stressful

The origins of table tennis have often obscured its influence — it was literally designed to be the diminutive form of tennis, after all. But the idea of “spin” first originated with ping pong; politically, it would become the thing that opened up negotiations between the US and China under Nixon. There are gestures to this in Marty Supreme, but the new film from Josh Safdie is more interested in the sport as a fixture for outcasts in the ’50s Lower East Side. Loosely based on the true story of Jewish table tennis underdog Marty Reisman, Marty Supreme arrives eager and ready to unnerve you. “Loosely” is the key word here, unless it turns out the real-life Reisman was a real piece of shit. This version, Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet), is as maddening as they come. Anyone who has seen the Safdie brothers’ previous movies Good Time or Uncut Gems will recognize the template: a man who constantly makes selfish choices, every bad decision an excuse to meet a strange character and sprint through the …
