Tony: A Briny Summer Coming-of-Age Tale

A sunlit, bittersweet coming-of-age comedy about a 19-year-old would-be writer who dreams of being a legend like Anthony Bourdain. Set in 1975 Provincetown, Dominic Sessa's Tony navigates a summer of kitchen chaos with mentor Chef (Antonio Banderas) and a salty crew led by Sal (Leo Woodall), learning hard truths about self-mythologizing and growth. While it leans on familiar coming-of-age beats, the film's briny seaside mood, sharp performances, and restrained direction give it real charm. A24 will release Tony in theaters on August 7.
