PS: Face-Off: Blossoming Safdie Bros. Solo Careers

In your opinion, which Safdie brothers' solo career will blossom more; or alternatively, which of the brothers' first post-split films do you prefer: Josh Safdie's 'Marty Supreme' (2025) or Benny Safdie's 'The Smashing Machine' (2025)? In January 2024, the Safdie brothers, who have been making films together since childhood, announced plans to direct films separately in the future. Josh Safdie and Benny Safdie, collaborators over nearly three decades, are best known for their joint direction of 'The Pleasure of Being Robbed' (2008), 'Daddy Longlegs' (2009), 'Lenny Cooke' (2013), 'Heaven Knows What' (2014), 'Good Time' (2017), and 'Uncut Gems' (2019). The indie filmmakers claim the split is amicable and a natural progression in their lives that allows each the freedom to direct independently and explore topics that they individually want to pursue. The siblings will debut the first fruits of their solo careers with a pair of potential 2026 Oscar-contending films, with Josh Safdie's 'Marty Supreme' (2025) and Benny Safdie's 'The Smashing Machine' (2025), both releasing in the fourth quarter of 2025.
