Ping Pong movie. I hope he has to battle Forrest Gump.

MR Wonderful in there.

I heard great stuff about this after it was shown at the New York Film Festival. I'm looking to it. It'll also be interesting to see how the first two solo Safdie films compare.

Fucking great. Might be my favourite film of the year.

This was very entertaining. Timothy is great in this. Cinematography and a script are excellent. I thought the ending was a bit off, less realistic versus his preceding behaviour. And the protagonist is quite the liar and user of people, so may or may not be the type of person you cheer for.

I think that the ending being a potential shift for him was the point.

Here's Safdie talking about the ending

I feel like there's an ambiguity there. That he's overcome with this positive emotion at seeing his child but is also coming to terms with the dreams he had vanishing as a result of this change in his life.

Thought this was a movie about ping pong...

Ping pong requires discipline and dedication. Also, with the Na'vi going cheeks out they knew they had to compete with Avatar 3 on that front.

This was great. A lot going on tbh. It's in a vaguely similar vein as Uncut Gems with its chaotic NYC hustle but more varied and much more epic. Very funny. On the short list for the best of 2025.

He secretly trained intensively in table tennis for 6–7 years. That's some serious dedication

I liked this interview, I think hes a fun actor too. Knows which roles to pick and when. Haven't seen Marty Supreme yet though

I didn't realise until just now that Penn Jillette played the farmer in this.
