‘That Was My Breaking Point’ A Chaotic Letterboxd Review Someone Wrote After Walking Out Of Marty Supreme Is Going Viral

by

I think watching Marty Supreme is meant to be a stressful experience, and I say that in a good way! This fast-paced and intense film, which is much more than just a sports movie, throws you into a whirlwind as Timothée Chalamet’s character chases his ping-pong dreams – and it’s supposed to be chaotic, exciting, and a little overwhelming. But one viewer found it too much, and their funny review is now spreading all over the internet.

If you’re on Letterboxd, you’re used to seeing all kinds of movie reviews – some thoughtful, some funny. This review definitely falls into both categories. Shared on X by @baileylikemovie, it’s a surprisingly harsh half-star take on Marty Supreme, a film that’s generally been very well-received. You really have to read it to understand the reaction!

Let me tell you, I was not enjoying this movie. I actually walked out mid-screening to write this review, and the thought of going back in didn’t exactly fill me with joy. And honestly, I get it! I had a similar reaction when that one character nearly met a terrible fate in a bathtub, and almost took a poor dog with him. Look, I have a strict rule: no dogs can die on screen. Seriously, I’ll spoil the ending for myself if I even think a dog is in danger – it’s just a line I won’t let a movie cross.

I understand why that was the final straw for them. Although, it’s important to remember the dog wasn’t actually harmed – the bathtub didn’t injure it.

Unfortunately, things didn’t improve for this person. In a later tweet with a screenshot of their continued reaction, they expressed intense dislike, saying it was simply “hatred, hatred, hatred.” They even added that if you didn’t hear from them again, it would be because they’d suffered a heart attack.

I understand the reviewer was upset, but a half-star rating seems harsh, and the review feels overly negative. They decided the movie was bad and not worth watching before even finishing it. However, most viewers have really enjoyed Marty Supreme, and Timothée Chalamet’s Golden Globe nomination suggests many disagree with this critic’s opinion.

To be fair, Marty Supreme is a very intense and chaotic experience – it’s both exciting and overwhelming. It’s understandable if some people find it too much. But it’s made by Josh Safdie, the director of the highly praised, but stressful, film Uncut Gems, so that kind of energy is his style, and it won’t appeal to everyone.

Generally, Marty Supreme provokes very strong emotions, leading to funny and enthusiastic responses like the one you’re reading. It’s clear the video resonated with people – it quickly gained 1.1 million views and 22,000 likes on X, along with a wide range of opinions.

  • I’ve officially seen the most annoying Letterboxd review ever –femboxd
  • They’re honestly so real for this. –cocktailgrandma

The reactions to this review, much like the review itself, are strong and varied. But I believe that’s exactly what Marty Supreme aims for.

This movie is a wild and energetic ride about a man who pushes himself too far in pursuit of his dream. Timothée Chalamet delivers a fantastic performance, and honestly, I really loved it! If you’re looking for something to watch, I recommend checking out Marty Supreme and forming your own opinion – just be prepared for a delightfully chaotic experience.
