This unusual A24 dark comedy casts Chalamet as Daniel, a lonely, awkward teenager sent to live in a small beachside community for the summer. While Chalamet’s initial moping is amusing, it's seeing him uncomfortably attempt to flirt with his illustrious crush McKayla Strawberry (Maika Monroe) that is truly hilarious. McKayla is energetic, well-spoken, and confident; everything that Daniel is not. Their heartwarming comic banter makes even the film’s dramatic shifts more humorous.
Chalamet’s greatest attribute is his versatility. He’s shown that he could be absolutely heartbreaking in Beautiful Boy, inspirationally courageous in Dune, and haplessly charismatic in Call Me By Your Name. However, Chalamet’s strengths as a dramatic performer have given him the unfair reputation that he’s exclusively played dark, brooding loners with serious attitude problems. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as he’s shown on multiple occasions that he’s just as dynamic as a comedic performer. Here are some of his funniest characters thus far.
It’s a classic branding ad—you can almost hear Apple’s services guru Eddy Cue screaming like he’s courtside at a Warriors game: We’re Apple, dammit! Check out who we’re working with! Big f-ing stars, OK?! Not like those regular streaming services. And there’s data behind the specific messaging. As the second part of Puck’s streaming brand study reveals, consumers have a really tough time remembering where particular shows and movies are available, even if they have watched those shows and movies. It’s called “recall,” meaning how well people connect specific content to a specific platform, and it’s a big problem for these services as they try to distinguish themselves in a crowded market. Apple reportedly paid Timothée Chalamet more than it has ever paid a celebrity endorser (including athletes) for his recent Apple TV+ ad.
Timothée Chalamet had reportedly been paid a lot more than Apple TV has ever paid anyone for their ad campaign. The actor was seen going over all the projects that the streaming service includes and how none of them have Chalamet in them. He was begging for them to hire him and let him be part of their service and have his own project. Celebrities were mocking the actor for not having a project on the platform and pointed out that almost everyone is a part of the streaming service by now. It only made the actor more and more desperate about wanting to be a part of the platform. Ultimately, it only made him feel worse about his exclusion. Jason Momoa was even part of the ad and did his part by making him feel even more excluded from the platform.
The truth is that everyone knew someone like Kyle Scheible in school, and Chalamet epitomizes the attitude of a pretentious self-proclaimed philosopher and introvert who seems to need everyone to know that he’s not into popular trends. Chalamet does a great job at showing how someone like Christine (Saoirse Ronan) might initially fall for him, and then realize that he’s really not worth her time.The truth is that everyone knew someone like Kyle Scheible in school, and Chalamet epitomizes the attitude of a pretentious self-proclaimed philosopher and introvert who seems to need everyone to know that he’s not into popular trends.
