Daniel B 1h Maybe the worst movie that I’ve watched in the theater this century. Keep in mind, I am rooting for Chalamet to become the great actor he aims to be. But he’s nowhere near that here, and Safdie did him no favors. The writing, direction, editing, and soundtrack are all simply awful. This is a movie set in 1952, yet most of the music is obscure 80’s pop. But what really kills this film are the scattered plot lines. It’s not committed enough to be a sports movie, and ping pong isn’t interesting enough to carry it even if it was. It’s not an underdog film because Marty is not likable enough to root for. He is an annoying, whining, self-indulgent twerp of a man-child who thinks the world owes him something. It’s not funny enough to be a comedy, not sentimental enough to be a drama. So what is it? I thought maybe it was going to run with the story about the invention of a modern ball, but that idea goes nowhere. Nothing sticks. It’s all just a mess of half-cooked ideas. You wanna call that genius? Go right ahead, but it makes for terrible story telling. I actually think this film is a case study on the power of marketing and social media. They spent so much time, money, and energy telling us how great this movie would be that the majority of (I’m guessing mostly younger) people had already decided they loved it before even watching it. It’s a metaphor for what social media can do to the human mind— it can convince the masses that something is good even when they are staring at a dumpster fire. It’s not a good movie, you’ve just been “Marty Supremed.” See more Paul R 1h THIS is why I go to the movies. Incredible, electrifying performance by Chalamet, Paltrow's best perhaps ever, and a rollercoaster of a ride with an eclectic cast.
