Marty Mauser gushes over-confidence, is under intense (self-inflicted) pressure, and is partial to other men’s wives. He is also a master at table tennis and scores a par on sale pitching. Co-written and directed by Josh Sadfie, the one half of the brother duo, Marty Supreme brings a fresh and unique take on the saturated sport-comedy genre to an  amazing spectacle . It is one of the best films of the year and nearly a masterpiece. 

With a rich setting that takes places in the fifties “Marty Supreme” carefully avoids the traps of nostalgia and auto pilot storytellings. It’s a tight script that absolutely sticks the landing at the end. It shines a glaring light on each individual character’s  flaws rather than trying to skirt them. There are no real villains nor real heroes, its people  The ensemble cast is perfect and so the camera is mostly steady, letting the chaos in front of it be the focal point. The pace of the film feels like lightning but slows at the right times.   “Marty Supreme” is just expert filmmaking with an original screenplay 

The scene of actual table tennis of the film makes it the delight of the film. It provides a comedic touch of delusion that tells the audience the film is very much self aware and the characters are not. They are totally engrossed .This is also a great vessel to increase Odessa A’zion stock as well as many others. It also showcases some other like Penn Jillette   “Marty Supreme” is loosely based on the life of real table tennis player, Marty Reisman and as of now the most expensive film from A24. A production company that consistently makes the right moves with its choices of projects. “Marty Supreme” is a fantastic film that shows  the follies, errors and clumsiness of a champion knowing that most of the bumps in the road are mostly self-inflicted and even sometimes indulged it is  a road fare more enjoyable rather than the smooth rise to the top. 9.5/10.
