Critics Consensus

A visual treat filled out by consistently stellar work from Robert Pattinson, Good Time is a singularly distinctive crime drama offering far more than the usual genre thrills.

3.5/4

Good Time isn't an exuberant or happy-go-lucky emotional ride, rather it's the cruel irony of white privileged in even the lowest rungs of class.

4/5

Nick's character doesn't exactly develop, but we do see its innards teased gradually apart. Ben Safdie's touching performance bookends the film with enormous grace.

4/5

Pattinson is utterly convincing as the Manson-eyed Connie, a manipulative force of nature (alternately mesmerising, repugnant and pathetic) who leaves a trail of destruction in his wake.

Refreshingly, The Safdie brothers don’t ask viewers to see the alternatively neon and concrete world through Connie’s eyes, but to witness him inflict his will on others.

Ultimately, a strong Robert Pattinson performance is let down by this blundering thriller that’s an assault on the senses and the mind.

By exposing the falsehood of one’s presumption of power, the Safdies awaken viewers to the inescapable consequences of their actions and weaknesses, along with the vulnerability of their own fate.

I somehow found this really boring. Maybe if you've seen enough from similar titles that mirror it's essence, you've seen them all. I liked Pattinson's performance a lot, but the plot felt really uninteresting. Tension is maintained till about halfway, until it feels like you're just waiting for the end.

Good Time (2017) Simply incredible! This movie is a true rollercoaster of emotions and adrenaline. How come I'd never heard of this movie before? Good thing I did some research and found this masterpiece. 9/10

This movie embodies the best interpretation of realism in the film industry. None of these characters felt unnatural in their roles, it was extremely impressive. The Safdie brothers should have gotten more awards than just the Cannes for this film just for the believability and originality. Pattinson definitely deserved his award and many more for his flawless performance. He was the definition of manipulation and narcissism. This was the saddest realest movie I watched in a while, it was just a movie to most but it is honestly millions of people and families around the worlds real life. Definitely will recommend and watch it again.
