The Anthony Bourdain biopic *Tony* (A24) opened to strong early critical support after its review embargo lifted in late July, debuting at a perfect 100% Tomatometer on 20–30 reviews before settling near 94% across 63 scores as of early August. Positive notices have centered on Dominic Sessa’s lead performance and the film’s grounded coming-of-age focus on Bourdain’s formative restaurant summer, though a handful of more mixed write-ups have nudged the aggregate downward. Limited theatrical rollout began in early August ahead of a wider expansion on the 21st, giving additional critics time to weigh in before the market resolves. Traders are pricing high odds on a final score of 90+ because the current trajectory and A24 prestige make a steep drop unlikely, but the modest decline from 100% underscores that continued review volume remains the key swing factor.
