The Anthony Bourdain biopic *Tony* (A24, dir. Matt Johnson, starring Dominic Sessa) opened in limited release on August 7 after its review embargo lifted in late July. Early critic response was exceptionally strong, debuting at a perfect 100% Tomatometer on 20–30 reviews before settling in the mid-to-high 90s (recent tallies show 93–98% across 40–58 reviews) with an average rating near 7.4/10. Metacritic sits lower at 71–73, reflecting a generally favorable but not unanimous consensus that praises the coming-of-age kitchen drama and lead performance while noting some conventional storytelling. Additional reviews are still arriving ahead of the August 21 wide expansion, and audience Popcornmeter data will post once verified ratings accumulate, but the Tomatometer itself remains the resolution metric. Trader sentiment tracks incremental review additions and any late shifts in consensus before the score stabilizes.
