The more I'm hearing, the more I'm thinking Marty Supreme isn't going to be for me. Sounds like Uncut Gems Pt. 2

I was not a fan of that cringe film.

Probably mentioned this before....my Gems screening had one lone memorable moment, one I won't soon forget.

At the moment of truth at the very end, a woman right behind me yelled out....."FINALLY". The audience really broke out in a good sized laugh. And that was the only truly memorable part of the screening, as opposed to anything on screen. Sandler was very good as a chucklehead. That was about it.

Read a bunch of reviews now that the film is out, and it leads me to believe this is Uncut Gems Pt. 2. Same character, same contrivances, same decision making. The same.

I almost HAVE to give this a look, with all the awards talk. I hope there's something more to it than what it sounds like. And I hope I enjoy it more than I did last year's Anora, which I have serious problems with to this day.

I'm hoping to catch up with the other foreign films over the next couple of weeks. Sirat, Just an Accident, Secret Agent, No Other Choice, The Voice of... I've seen and was mega impressed by Sentimental Value, a terrific film. So; looking forward to these others, which is where much of this year's strengtsh appear to reside.

It definitely has an Uncut Gems "section" but the actual table tennis stuff is kind of cool and fun. It isn't the same movie. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 24, 00:38

It's only partially about table tennis... just look at it as a very different type of sports drama. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 24, 05:09

forest gump was partially about ping pong...i can wait for streaming, i wasn't a fan of uncut gems either dennkenn Dec 24, 10:08

Probably not. Its not UNCUT GEMS part 2, its pretty different but its 2/3 the same director/writer/producer team as UNCUT GEMS so if you Moviesnob Dec 24, 11:09

To be positive, other awards movies you might like that arent part of the NEON 5 getting a lot of attention: TRAIN DREAMS, SORRY BABY, Moviesnob Dec 24, 11:13

I should caution that THE PLAGUE is very intense, borrows a lot from body horror even if its not a traditional horror film (its a drama) {nm} Moviesnob Dec 24, 11:17

the 2nd trailer made me think there's a more wholesome reason Marty is doing all this than I thought...something about supporting his mom {nm} tealfan Dec 24, 12:16
