Odessa A’zion Says Timothée Chalamet Helped Her Through ‘Marty Supreme’ Toughest Scenes Ahead of U.S. Release

The 1950s table‑tennis drama by Josh Safdie with Ronald Bronstein arrives with awards buzz.

Overview

  • A’zion recounts that Chalamet offered steady on‑set support, including holding her hand between takes during a hospital sequence and encouraging her through an intense car scene on a farm.
  • She describes Safdie’s set as chaotic, stressful and creatively rewarding, with actors pushed to commit before they feel fully ready.
  • Set in 1952 New York City, the film follows an aspiring table‑tennis player loosely inspired by Marty Reisman, with A’zion playing Rachel Mizler, Marty Mauser’s married childhood friend in a complicated relationship.
  • People published an opening‑scene clip set in a shoe store that teases the charged dynamic between the leads without revealing key plot turns.
  • Marty Supreme opens in U.S. theaters on December 25, carries Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations, and still lacks a confirmed Middle East release date.
