"A24 woke up and said, 'It's not enough for us to buy the Cherry Lane Theatre; we need to reclaim Tony nominations day.' This is the kind of greed they warn against in the Bible."
"Directed by Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie's Matt Johnson and starring Dominic Sessa as the titular Tony, Tony is set over the course of one summer in Provincetown, when Bourdain was 19 and a real shithead."
"Under the guidance of Banderas, who is playing 'like a master chef,' in the words of Sessa's Bourdain, the chef finally gets his act together. Oysters, lobsters, and shirtless antics galore."
"It's easy to deride biopics, even ones that break off a small chunk of history, but remember how propulsive Blackberry was? Tony and Tony might just find themselves in good hands after all."
A24 is set to release a film titled 'Tony' about Anthony Bourdain, coinciding with Tony nominations day. The film, directed by Matt Johnson, stars Dominic Sessa as Bourdain during a summer in Provincetown at age 19. Antonio Banderas plays a master chef guiding Bourdain's character. The film promises a mix of culinary adventures and personal growth, with a light-hearted tone. Despite skepticism towards biopics, there is potential for 'Tony' to resonate with audiences, similar to the success of 'Blackberry.'
