“One of the year’s few masterpieces.” – Variety
“Safdie’s daring choices merge with the best performance of Timothée Chalamet’s career for a story of a man who thinks he’s the best in the world at something, and that thinking is as important as actually being it.” – Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
“The pure craziness is a marvel.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“The miracle of Chalamet’s performance is that as brazen, indecent, and dishonest as Marty is, he makes a temporarily convincing case for himself as a thwarted athlete, rather than a crook with an athletic fixation.” – Jesse Hassenger, The A.V. Club
