Marty Supreme Brings High-Stakes Ping-Pong Drama to Indian Lake Theater

Timothée Chalamet stars in Marty Supreme in Indian Lake. — Timothée Chalamet headlines “Marty Supreme.”

Movie lovers looking for films playing in the Adirondacks this week have a compelling option on the calendar. Marty Supreme, the buzzy sports drama starring Timothée Chalamet, screens March 19–22 at the Indian Lake Theater in Indian Lake, New York. The independent theater in the central Adirondack region regularly showcases a mix of arthouse hits and cultural programming, and this award-season favorite fits perfectly into that tradition.

For visitors and locals searching for movies in the Adirondacks or wondering what’s on the Indian Lake Theater movie schedule, this limited run offers the chance to see one of the most talked-about films of the year in an intimate small-town cinema setting.

A brash dreamer chasing table-tennis glory.

Marty Supreme is a sports drama with a distinctly offbeat edge. The story follows Marty Mauser, a swaggering young New Yorker in the early 1950s who dreams of becoming the greatest table-tennis player in the world. Marty works a dead-end job at a shoe store and lives with his mother, but he is convinced that his natural talent and relentless confidence will carry him to international fame.

As Marty hustles his way through underground ping-pong matches and increasingly high-stakes tournaments, the film charts both his rise and the personal costs of ambition.

Relationships grow complicated, rivals emerge, and Marty’s obsession with greatness begins to shape every aspect of his life. The result is less a traditional sports movie than a character study of ego, hustle, and the strange places ambition can take a person.

Cast, director, and production highlights.

The film stars Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a role that critics widely praise as one of the actor’s most dynamic performances to date. The supporting cast includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Fran Drescher, and Tyler, the Creator, creating an eclectic ensemble that blends Hollywood veterans with unexpected cameos.

Marty Supreme was directed by Josh Safdie, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ronald Bronstein. Known for kinetic, high-energy storytelling, Safdie applies that same frenetic style here. The film was shot on 35 mm by cinematographer Darius Khondji, giving the 1950s setting a gritty, textured look, while composer Daniel Lopatin provides an atmospheric score that heightens the tension.

Though loosely inspired by real-life table-tennis legend Marty Reisman, the film is not a strict biography. Instead, it borrows elements of Reisman’s colorful career to craft a fictional story about ambition, hustle, and showmanship.

Critical response and awards recognition.

Since its premiere at the New York Film Festival, Marty Supreme has generated strong critical buzz and impressive box-office results. The film has been widely praised for its originality and Chalamet’s electric performance. Critics frequently note that Safdie’s storytelling mimics the rapid rhythm of a ping-pong match—fast, chaotic, and unpredictable.

Not every critic is fully convinced by its manic style. Some reviewers argue that the film’s relentless pace and eccentric tone can feel overwhelming at times, prioritizing spectacle over emotional clarity. Yet even skeptics acknowledge the film’s boldness and distinctive voice.

Awards voters certainly took notice. Marty Supreme received nine Academy Award nominations and was named one of the year’s top films by both the American Film Institute and the National Board of Review. Chalamet also won the Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actor for his performance.
