Equal parts a strategist and showman, Marty thrives on staying in control, whether it’s in control of his image, environment, or the ping-pong ball. Marty Supreme propels us through Marty’s eventful life at a relentless pace, keeping us wondering what could possibly happen next? The film wants us to feel the excess, the momentum, and the intoxication of ambition as Marty experiences it himself. This tension is precisely where Marty Supreme becomes most interesting. Ultimately, Marty Supreme is less interested in whether Marty deserves his success than interrogating how we define greatness in the first place.
