We saw the movie Marty Supreme. And, boy was it interesting. I know it is getting a lot of good publicity, and people have raved about Timothy Chalamet.
But, I had to tell you that I was not fully satisfied with this movie. First, it has very little to do with Ping Pong (which, in retrospect, is probably a good thing). However, it might have made this movie a little more interesting.
My key problem was that Marty Supreme was rather unlikable. He created his own problem, literally dropped giant turds in the lives of others, and make his own situation worse. By the end of the movie, though I was hoping for the best, I was VERY irritated with him. And, of course, the use of the Tears for Fears song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" to wrap things up did not help.
Timothy Chalamet did put in a good performance - kudos to him. But I was hardly rooting for the guy by the end.
