TYLER, the Creator makes his feature film debut opposite Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme.

Interestingly, Chalamet also recently took Best Actor honours at the 31st Critics’ Choice Awards.

Given the film’s success, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a surge in cinema attendance this week.

Following Marty Mauser (Chalamet), a young hustler, the story unfolds in the underground world of 1950s table tennis.

Marty fights for respect in a sport that no one takes seriously, a fight where ambition, obsession and survival ultimately collide. Sharp and dangerous, the narrative is surprisingly relevant to modern discussions surrounding masculinity.

The stellar cast deserves equal praise, featuring supporting performances from Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Abel Ferrara, Fran Drescher and Grammy-winning artist Tyler, the Creator (whose real name is Tyler Okonma).

Interestingly, Tyler makes his feature film debut in his role as Wally, Marty's best friend. Wally is a taxi driver who also happens to be a skilled table tennis player.
