Quick, which of the following describes Timothée Chalamet? He’s the brightest male star of his generation. He’s an actor who has been in a handful of independent hits but has never, on his own, in the classic sense, truly opened a movie.

By which I mean this: Imagine that Chalamet had come along 30 years ago. His star trajectory — the kinds of movies he’d be acting in, the kind of movie star he’d want to become — would probably be a lot more clearly delineated than it is today. We’re now, after all, in the post-movie-star age. Or, at least, in an era that doesn’t exactly mint movie stars.

There’s a grandeur to “Dune” that makes it a nice pedestal for Chalamet’s beautiful-boy cerebral magnetism. But there’s a fuzziness to the movie, a “Star Wars”-goes-to-the-art-house meditative quality that doesn’t do Chalamet any favors as an actor. I thought he had more force and heroic energy a couple of years ago in “” , a neo-Shakespearian royal-court historical-political swashbuckler in which he invested the young man who would be the king of England with a neurasthenic-rock-star allure.

Wtf is this headline though?

Sorry, Variety. You're so wrong. It seems you wouldn't see the star if it fell on you.

He's the coolest Movie Star.

Hunny is a blue bird,,,blue? Can it snow in December?! I MEAN DUH HES A MOIVE STAR

... or just leave him alone? he's doing just fine

Very interesting article and thread for this tweet. Well, I see Timothée Chalamet, I clicked, so... 🤷💁

You should've seen him in King. He played Henry V. He just sat there, all cool, calm, collected...watching two guys he condemned get beheaded. RealChalamet

What nonsense is this? He has been a movie star since Call Me By Your Name😒

An Indie prince and king of internal acting. Love his acting style. He kicked ass in Dune and he gave us a powerful monologue in Miss Stevens. That's 'ACTING'.

Dune did it for me. He’s a movie star. Couldn’t take my eyes off him.

After his words against Woody Allen he doesn’t exist for me. I’ll never watch another movie with him. Long live to civilization.

Yeahhhh movie star and great person✌🥺❤

His appeal utterly eludes me

I like him, but he’s in a group of actors that I just can’t ever see as anyone but themselves. They’re playing a recognizable version of themselves in every project; this chap, Jason Momoa, Robert Downey Jr. Never not themselves. Dune was bloody beautiful though, I loved it.

Definitely a star Dune wasn’t a good movie but Timothee commands the screen and makes Dune worth seeing just to see him

Both.

Another clickbait article using this guy's name (which you misspelled). Let me block yall and move on🙄

Great article!

'alpha'star? Isn't this supposed to be the thing everyone is against to? Just because he doesn't look like the typical muscled male he is not a star? He already has an Oscar nom, What has Owen Gleiberman done exactly to believe he is the guy to judge other's peoples merits/lives?

He barely a good actor so no

Don’t know anything about him. He has an interesting face though, like a model for a marble statue. Usually with movie stars, everyone knows who they are. For example, Leo DiCaprio. All you have to say to someone when talking about movies is “Leo” and people know who it is.

I see you are just trying to get clicks off his name. 🙄 Good thing plenty of other critics thought he was amazing in Dune (someone should splice all those the raves together to show this person doesn’t speak the consensus).

Well he is my Lock Screen wallpaper so there’s that.

Why the assumption he wants to be an “alpha star” when we have actors like the ones you named already? that is limiting. he’s played both vulnerable roles and strong/“masculine” characters with his roles so far and i don’t think that needs to change

Please stop trying to make this child happen.

the laziness of spelling his name wrong twice in one article 👎

Or we can just appreciate RealChalamet work as an actor. He was brilliant in The King on Netflix. As well as Dune. appreciatethecraft art

The greatest for many years to come

Are those my only choices

The latter

Yes.

if anyone wants a better read from someone who isn’t a useless hack

He’s a movie star he’s gets people to watch movies like Call Me By Your Name that they wouldn’t ordinarily watch and great filmmakers want to work with him which is another sign of of movie stardom!

He’s a fckn star. You kidding me. His twitches and facial gestures are what took me into the whole Dune world.
