Tense, immersive and excellently assaulting, Good Time is hella time. Read full review

The wild night eventually turns downright rabid, but Pattinson anchors Good Time, completely selling Connie from the moment he bursts into the frame and delivering the best performance of his career. Read full review

Having already admired Pattinson’s post-vampire work in David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis” and elsewhere, I wasn’t surprised to see him kill it in this role as a shambling antihero in the “Dog Day Afternoon” mode. With this movie, both Pattinson and the Safdie brothers have broken new ground in their careers. Read full review

Good Time is a film of trembling anxiety, and while the score and the Safdies’ terrific direction both aid this, it’s Pattinson’s outstanding performance that pins even the most outlandish occurrences to a deep sense of emotion. Read full review

Pattinson is great in what is surely his best post-Twilight performance to date. Read full review

Good Time is just that and little more, but Robert Pattinson’s performance deserves praise like “career-defining” and “best yet.” Read full review

Sometimes it flaunts its clichés…and other times it cloaks them in rough visual textures and jumpy, bumpy camera movements, so that a rickety genre thrill ride feels like something daring and new. It isn’t. It’s stale, empty and cold. Read full review

Robert Pattinson has never shown me he was a great actor until now. A bank robbery doesn’t exactly go according to plan which then sets in motion a chain of events that spiral more and more out of control. Desperate, hilarious and brilliant. Good Time is a gem of a movie and you’d do well… Expand

This was a real surprise. Quentin Tarantino said if you know where a movie is going after 30 minutes, it’s not really a movie. I never knew what to expect next, an excellent script, excellent performances all the way around-including the first really good Robert Pattinson performance that… Expand

Exciting, gritty, edgy and consistently engaging grimy thriller with a career-best performance from Pattinson as a stressed, strained but sympathetic crook in a literal race against time to save/help his mentally handicapped brother.

Kinda gave me The Terminator vibes and it was intense almost throughout. Music and acting are solid. A few too many convenient plot holes to advance the story are a little silly and the final act takes a little long to deliver.

Good Time is an engaging, gritty movie with excellent acting. I think Josh and Ben Safdie could potentially be a future Coen brothers in terms of working together.

Acting: The acting is stellar overall. Robert Pattinson was amazing, stepping way out of his romantic roles. Ben Safdie also… Expand

“Good Time” foi uma ótima oportunidade de Robert Pattinson mostrar realmente o seu talento na representação. Uma história desesperada, eletrizante e brilhante.
