Timothée Chalamet is an increasingly popular young movie star that has acted in numerous major films. Chalamet's range has seen him play in heartfelt holiday movies to gritty dramas, acting as everything from sensitive gentlemen to cannibals. As a result, his repertoire is filled with a versatile, highly-acclaimed filmography that show off the virtuosic performers acting chops.
Chalamet is already slated to appear in the films, Dune 2 and Wonka, and shows no signs of slowing down. Since he launched himself into stardom due to good looks and genuine talent, Chalamet has become a household name and Academy Award regular. Here is a breakdown of every Timothée Chalamet movie, ranked worst to best.
17. Love The Coopers
The 2015 movie Love The Coopers is the one and only holiday movie actor Timothée Chalamet has been in. The ensemble film follows the chaotic life of the Coopers leading up to their holiday dinner together. Chalamet plays Charlie, the grandson of the Sam and Charlotte, the soon-to-be divorced couple hosting Christmas. The film received very negative reviews for cheesiness and lack of depth, earning it an 18% on rotten tomatoes. Chalamet still does well in the film, acting-wise, but the script truly leaves something to be desired.
16. The Adderall Diaries
The Adderall Diaries follows a drug-addicted writer who reconnects with his father while doing research for an true crime novel. With Chalamet as the young version of the main character, Stephen played by versatile actor James Franco, he helps to lay down the foundation for the main character's drug addiction and estrangement from his family. The film did poorly with critics, calling it sloppy and lacking profundity, but Timothée Chalamet's performance is gritty and worthy of praise.
15. One and Two
One and Two is a magical thriller directed by Andrew Droz Palermo, relased in 2015 and starring Timothée Chalamet and Kiernan Shipka. The two actors play siblings who possess the power to teleport small distances. However, the two are forced to live on an isolated farm with their extremely religious parents. Their father is a cruel man who does not allow them to use their powers and their mother is ailing from an unknown aggressive illness. Despite the interesting premise, the film received primarily negative reviews, with complaints that it was boring and uninspired, but with praise for Chalmaet's performance.
14. A Rainy Day in New York
A Rainy Day in New York is a 2019 romantic comedy directed by controversial director Woody Allen. It stars actor Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning as Gatsby Welles and Ashleigh Enright, liberal art students at a college in upstate New York. When the duo takes a trip to Manhattan, they both end up finding romance and adventure with people that are not each other. While Chalamet's performance in A Rainy Day in New York works, it is not unlike the characters he has portrayed in the past. However, the primary problem with the film is its release in the midst of sexual abuse allegations being levied at its director Allen.
13. Don’t Look Up
Netflix’s Don't Look Up is a 2001 satirical black comedy about a group of scientists trying to inform the population that the world is ending. It features countless movie stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, and Jonah Hill, and was created by the acclaimed director Adam McKay. With a monstrous, world-ending comet on its way to earth, a team of scientists set out to find a solution before it is too late. While they expect mass hysteria instead they are met with apathy and denial from the populace and its leaders.
Frustrated and resigned to the state of the world, one of the scientists, Kate, played by seasoned actress Jennifer Lawrence, begins a relationship with a shoplifter and punk, Yule, played by Timothée Chalamet. The film was met with extremely mixed reviews, many criticizing the ham-fisted satire that makes light of the very serious climate crisis, but still received a Best Picture nod at the Oscars. Don't Look Up is one of many movies in which Timothée Chalamet plays an unbothered jerk, and while he does well at it, it is nothing audiences have not seen before.
12. Hot Summer Nights
Hot Summer Nights, released in 2019, is a crime drama about drug dealing in Cape Cod. While in Cape Cod for the summer, Daniel Middleton, played by actor Timothée Chalamet, quickly gets whisked into the world of dealing marijuana, and later, cocaine. Trying to navigate this new money-making stressor and a blooming romance with McKayla, the younger sister of his drug-dealing partner, Daniel is masterfully depicted by Chalamet, just 23 at the time. Despite the performances of the film's main characters, however, the majority of audiences found that the film's plot was nothing to write home about, leaving Hot Summer Nights as one of Chalamet's good, but least memorable films.
11. Hostiles
Scott Cooper's beautifully shot Hostiles is a 2017 Western/war film following a group of men sent to rescue a cancer-ridden chief named Yellow Hawk in 1893. The youngest in the rescue party, a newcomer Frenchman, Philippe Dejardin, is played by Chalamet. Featuring a star-studded cast including Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, and Jesse Plemmons, Hostile received satisfactory reviews from critics and audiences. Chalamet is very minorly featured in the Hostiles movie as he is killed in an attack by Comanches early on in their journey. Overall, Hostiles is an excellent action film but does not allow Timothée Chalamet to shine as an actor.
10. The King
The King is a 2019 Netflix original film following the life and rise of King Henry V. The film is loosely based on the plays by WIlliam Shakespeare and shows a young prince grappling with leaving behind his drinking, partying days to be king. While the large-budget film features an all-star cast, many viewers found it slow or boring, or critiqued the historical and Shakespearean accuracy of the piece. The King is still a solid film in the repertoire of the superstar, with many praising his performance as the young King Henry V, but all in all, The King left something to be desired for its audience.
9. Bones and All
Timothée Chalamet stars in the Bones and All 2022 cast, as one of two leads in the cannibalistic romance movie, directed by Luca Guadagnino, about young couple driving across the country. When Maren is abandoned by her family due to her cannibalistic urges, she flees to seek her mother, whom she has never met. Along the way, Maren discovers she is not alone as she meets several other "eaters," including Lee (Chalamet), with whom she learns from and forms a romance. Chalamet's performance as Lee is great, but simple and similar to many of the roles he has played in the past.
