HOLLYWOOD, CA — Five films land on Christmas Day, offering a mix of sports drama, music, spiritual fervor, economic dread and meta‑adventure for holiday crowds.
“Marty Supreme,” directed by Josh Safdie, stars Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a hustling table‑tennis prodigy in 1950s New York whose drive for greatness tips into obsession. Loosely inspired by real‑life ping‑pong icon Marty Reisman, it plays like a white‑knuckle coming‑of‑age story about ambition, ego and the cost of winning.
“Song Sung Blue” pairs Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as a Milwaukee duo whose Neil Diamond tribute act becomes both a lifeline and a test of loyalty, with Craig Brewer steering the film toward grit, warmth and lived‑in emotion.
