Shia was MVP of Megalopolis so would be in for that. Very few actors today that go as intense into a role as he does

seemed to me made that vampire speech up and did not inform timothee of it to get a natural reaction f*** it sadfie has to cast people like Kevin spacey , Woody , Shia , it’s fascinating to watch these demons act with sadfie directing

he spent the whole movie trampling over people to get to his dream and at the end he’s tearfully accepting his reality with having to “settle”

now i loved this movie just as much as yall but TYLER was the one who elevated every scene?

i liked it overall, but in terms of narrative structure it felt too similar to uncut gems and good time. this might honestly be my favourite Timothee performance to date, but it also feels like Joshua Safdie unintentionally boxed him out of a real best actor push. there just werent enough true wow moments for Timothee to fully break through, even though the performance itself is really strong.

ive always felt this way about uncut gems and good time, but the weakest part of those movies is the pacing, and Marty Supreme suffers from the same issue. theres nearly an hour where no ping pong is played at all, and instead its just marty running around the city doing whatever it takes to get the money. that part is enjoyable at first, but it eventually starts to feel like a chore to sit through, the issue just becomes that repetition dulls the tension rather than building it imo.

the climax was underwhelming. the endo vs marty match at the end did not feel satisfying as a viewer, he goes through all of this and it just ends with him hugging endo and thats it. i thought the ping pong scenes, which i thought were supposed to be the primary force of the story, were underwhelming as well. i really wish the cinematography during those sequences had been more dynamic or just more cinematic. this felt like the perfect place for safdie to really shine as a director, and instead it came across as restrained.

the ending confused me as well. maybe I missed something, but is it supposed to show that Marty seeing his kid is going to make him retire? Not really sure what was implied here tbh

not saying i did not enjoy the movie, i thought it was good, but outside the first like 30-45 minutes and TImothees performance, it doesn't feel like the movie excelled at anything else. it's like Safdie got sort of scared after the 45th minute when writing the script and went back to what he knew best.

Brad Pitt has def gone against type a number of times tho (Jesse James, Burn After Reading, 12 Monkeys)

I think I thought it would be more of a sports movie than a character study. Safdies at their best are clearly now just us watching a character move through a situation rather than a real plot or narrative. Not that i dislike it — but this was straight up an acting vehicle for him.
