PeterRS Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago It's not due out in the USA till December 25 (presumably in time to be included in the Oscars) and the UK till December 26 but the critics embargo has just been lifted. So there are reviews everywhere. Based on the trailer, I totally fail to understand what it is really about. Yet most of the critics are raving about it, especially Chalamet's performance. It seems to be about a ping pong player in the 1950s, a Jewish shoe salesman who decides he is going to be the greatest ping pong player in the world. And he almost makes it. The critics call Chalamet's performance one of the best he has ever given on screen, definitely in Oscar contention. If you want to read more there are several reviews up on youtube. Based on the trailer and what I have read, I'm not sure this is a pic I want to see. Although he is fast becoming a great actor Chalamet is nothing like his previous roles, definitely not a cutie.
