Marty Supreme: obnoxious, loud, and unpleasant like its protagonist, Josh Safdie’s drama tells the story of a young man intent on doing whatever it takes to become the face of table tennis in America. He is not even all that interesting in his unpleasantness; the only appealing facet of him is that he can be a courteous sportsman. When he wins. In any case, he is not alone; the only engaging characters in this film are the ones that are not in it. If that is a measure of his performance, Timothée Chalamet makes an unbearable character truly, truly unbearable, a fast-talking, ambitious, and, well, obnoxious-loud-unpleasant. Odessa A’zion plays well his old friend and lover, while Gwyneth Paltrow is uninteresting as an old movie star. Production designer Jack Fisk and costume designer Miyako Bellizzi make a credible recreation of the early 1950s, and director of photography Darius Khondji captures it all with fine camerawork.
