I Don’t Buy the Tears at the End of Marty Supreme

The movie Marty Supreme is full of unbelievable events. Throughout the film, Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet) gets away with outrageous things – from a relationship with actress Kay Stone (Gwyneth Paltrow) to accidentally blowing up a gas station – often just by saying “I love you” and running away. However, the most unbelievable moment comes at the very end, when Marty is suddenly overcome with emotion at the sight of his newborn baby. The film never suggests he’s capable of such a reaction, and this emotional turn feels unearned and like a convenient way to wrap up the story, much like Marty’s constant escapes.
