Zero Range: The Timothée Chalamet Illusion

Is Timothée Chalamet the next Marlon Brando, or just a high-fashion mannequin with zero range? From Dune Part 2 to his 2025 SAG Award for A Complete Unknown, we’re exposing the Chalamet Illusion.

Hollywood has spent years convincing you that Timothée Chalamet is a "generational chameleon." But after the release of Marty Supreme and his controversial "top-level sh!t" interview in late 2025, the mask is slipping. In this forensic breakdown, CineKraft analyzes the technical "glitches" in Chalamet’s acting—from the "Static Eye" phenomenon to his reliance on vocal fry—to prove that he isn't transforming into characters; he’s just changing his hats.

We put his filmography to the "Paul Giamatti Test" and compare his vocal presence to icons like Viggo Mortensen and Al Pacino. Is it range, or is it just an expensive aesthetic?
