TL;DR Summary

Matt Johnson’s Tony chronicles the 1975 Provincetown summer that shapes a young Anthony Bourdain, with Dominic Sessa delivering a breakout, magnetic performance as Tony. The biopic follows his hunger to write, a volatile romance with Nancy, and his mentorship under Chef (Antonio Banderas) in a kitchen that becomes his crucible, blending nostalgic, Adventureland–like atmosphere with a kinetic, Linklater-esque sensibility.
