I love you. I couldn’t do this without you,” while looking at her. The camera quickly panned onto Jenner’s emotional face as she smiled and clasped her hands beneath her chin, mouthing “I love you” in response.
Chalamet also complimented Marty Supreme’s director, producer, and co-writer, Josh Safdie. Chalamet described the film’s emotional heart, saying, “Josh, you crafted a tale about a flawed man with a relatable goal; you didn’t preach to the audience about what’s good and bad, and I believe we should all be producing stories like that. So thank you for the dream.”
