The Anthony Bourdain coming-of-age biopic “Tony,” an A24 release starring Dominic Sessa, opened to near-unanimous early praise after its review embargo lifted in late July, debuting at 100% on the Tomatometer before settling at 95% from 80 reviews. Critics have highlighted the film’s empathetic script, Sessa’s star-making turn, and its balance of kitchen-world grit with personal growth, aligning with A24’s track record for awards-friendly dramas. With wide release imminent and additional reviews still arriving, the score faces modest downward pressure typical of expanding sample sizes, though sustained high marks from major outlets could keep it above key thresholds like 93–94%. Traders are watching daily Tomatometer fluctuations and critic volume through the coming week for resolution signals.
