"He's earning raves for his bravura performance as a '50s New York table tennis champion (based on real-life petty criminal Marty Reisman) who will not be stopped from playing for the world championship in Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunately, he must overcome countless obstacles along the way, and in pursuit of his dream, he does not always behave well. Au contraire. Nor does the preternaturally confident Chalamet comport himself like the usual humble Oscar contender,"
"Timothée Chalamet: That was great. It's a project I'm so deeply proud of. So that moment of first reveal. It's tough. And obviously it was Josh's decision and A24, but I had some input on it, too. It was bold, doing a surprise screening. And it was dead-on. It was one of the best screening experiences I've had in my life. Oh, it played great."
