Overview
- The A24 release widens today after a six-theater platform start last weekend, marking its full U.S. theatrical rollout.
- Critics note Safdie’s propulsive, high-stress style and draw explicit comparisons to Uncut Gems, with some arguing the new film struggles under that benchmark.
- Safdie describes the story as a Jewish experience rooted in postwar survival and pride, positioning Marty Mauser’s drive within that cultural context.
- Chalamet’s preparation reportedly included years of table-tennis training, with coach Josh Bennett recounting on-air guidance and on-set practice.
- Home release is expected to follow A24’s pattern, with a projected PVOD window in late January and an HBO Max debut likely in mid-to-late April 2026.
