| 247586 | Benedict Seal | Vague Visages | Rotten | — | 2023-12-05T20:48:52.000Z | 2023-12-05 20:48:52 | Ultimately, a strong Robert Pattinson performance is let down by this blundering thriller that’s an assault on the senses and the mind. |

Both are desperate to get out of New York and start a new life, even if they have to borrow and steal to achieve it. |
| 247589 | Brian Eggert | Deep Focus Review | Fresh | 4/4 | 2022-03-17T04:19:33.000Z | 2022-03-17 04:19:33 | Pattinson exudes pure energy, as though he's leaped into the role so completely that Connie has taken over. |

Either way, the final scene, which continues as the credits roll, is so unexpectedly gracious and tender that don't be the least bit surprised if a couple of tears spill. |

| 247604 | Mattie Lucas | From the Front Row | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2019-06-04T17:11:04.000Z | 2019-06-04 17:11:04 | A near-perfect blend of colorful cinematography, frenetic editing, and pulsing score; creating a grungy, rave-like aesthetic that is like nothing else we've seen on screen this year. |
| 247605 | Dan Murrell | Screen Junkies | Fresh | — | 2019-04-24T21:30:51.000Z | 2019-04-24 21:30:51 | Reminded me of some of the '70s crime dramas like Dog Day Afternoon. |

| 247607 | Louisa Moore | Screen Zealots | Fresh | 4.5/5 | 2018-12-20T23:41:43.000Z | 2018-12-20 23:41:43 | This sleazy, bleak, and primal low budget crime thriller feels like a cinematic punch in the face. |

GOOD TIME traps its characters in a world lacking empathy, and as a result, there is nothing left to lose. |
| 247609 | PJ Nabarro | Patrick Nabarro | Fresh | 4/5 | 2018-11-01T22:46:31.000Z | 2018-11-01 22:46:31 | Good Time seems destined to be a cult classic. It's carried off with such a dazzling intent, and it's got real dramatic ingenuity to go with its more obvious focus on ambience |

| 247611 | Sean Mulvihill | FanboyNation.com | Fresh | 4/5 | 2018-10-31T00:49:00.000Z | 2018-10-31 00:49:00 | Good Time has a neon color scheme that is hypnotic and intoxicating, a hallucinatory palate that can shift into a bad trip at a moment's notice. |
| 247612 | Tomas Trussow | The Lonely Film Critic | Fresh | 4.5/5 | 2018-10-05T05:10:44.000Z | 2018-10-05 05:10:44 | I'm in awe of what the Safdies achieve here, which is neo-noir (neon-noir?) and social realism mulched into a decayed panic attack. |
| 247613 | Rendy Jones | Rendy Reviews | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2018-08-30T05:15:31.000Z | 2018-08-30 05:15:31 | An aesthetically nostalgic crime thriller with a career changing performance by Pattinson and an effective direction from the Safdie brothers. |

But it's also implicit in incidental social and psychological comment. |
| 247615 | Robert Daniels | 812filmreviews | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2018-08-27T06:06:14.000Z | 2018-08-27 06:06:14 | 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. |
| 247616 | Khari J. Sampson | Gwinnett Daily Post (GA) | Fresh | 3/4 | 2018-08-24T20:57:12.000Z | 2018-08-24 20:57:12 | "Good Time" really isn't a good time at the movies. But it's worth watching to see a cold-eyed, street-level deconstruction of a night - and life - of crime. |
| 247617 | Alison Rowat | The Herald (Scotland) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2018-08-23T23:06:34.000Z | 2018-08-23 23:06:34 | Good Time certainly puts the audience through an anxious time as Connie goes on a desperate odyssey through the night streets trying to put things right. |
| 247618 | Asia Frey | Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) | Rotten | — | 2018-08-23T21:21:01.000Z | 2018-08-23 21:21:01 | By the end of "Good Time," you might well find yourself begging for a less successfully realistic film, for it is so effectively rendered that you will experience a lifetime of hardships right along with Pattinson and his unfortunate cohorts. |
| 247619 | Mae Abdulbaki | Movies with Mae | Rotten | 2/5 | 2018-08-21T23:16:26.000Z | 2018-08-21 23:16:26 | It tries far too hard to be rough around the edges, but it's rather devoid of emotion. Pattinson is good, but his performance never elevates the film. |
| 247620 | Rosalynn Try-Hane | Fopp.com | Fresh | 5/5 | 2018-08-21T18:56:07.000Z | 2018-08-21 18:56:07 | The social commentary that runs throughout especially on people on the fringes of society and the harsher treatment people of colour suffer is well done with a lightness of touch that allows the viewer to reflect rather than feel manipulated... |
| 247621 | Glenn Heath Jr. | San Diego CityBeat | Fresh | — | 2018-08-21T00:42:00.000Z | 2018-08-21 00:42:00 | Relentless and intoxicating, Good Time is a manic and devious exploration of greed. It skewers a particular grifter persona that thrives on uncertainty and sabotage, someone who looks in the mirror and mistakes guilt for good intentions. |
| 247622 | Dennis Schwartz | Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews | Fresh | B | 2018-03-22T07:05:17.000Z | 2018-03-22 07:05:17 | A violently hypnotic street-wise NYC crime thriller. |

| 247624 | Amelia Navascues | Triple J | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2018-02-28T23:06:47.000Z | 2018-02-28 23:06:47 | Before you grind your teeth reliving the trauma that were the five Twlight movie [Robert Pattinson] previously starred in, he's actually great. |

| 247626 | Carlos Díaz Reyes | Vanguardia (Mexico) | Fresh | 9/10 | 2018-01-31T17:15:18.000Z | 2018-01-31 17:15:18 | A great job where form and background are taken almost to perfection. [Full Review in Spanish] |

| 247639 | Robert Roten | Laramie Movie Scope | Fresh | B | 2017-12-22T20:35:21.000Z | 2017-12-22 20:35:21 | This crime drama of a bank robber trying to get his brother out of police custody features non-stop improvisation. This is a character worth following, and Robert Pattinson is an actor to watch. Benny Safdie is also a writer and director on the rise. |
| 247640 | Becky Suter | TheShiznit.co.uk | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-12-22T01:20:59.000Z | 2017-12-22 01:20:59 | Even a deliberately flat ending escapes criticism, highlighting the brutal naturalism of the piece. The Safdies are following the old adage of always leave them wanting more, which is exactly what you want after a Good Time. |
| 247641 | John Lui | The Straits Times (Singapore) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-12-20T02:05:49.000Z | 2017-12-20 02:05:49 | The ticking clock thriller gets an indie makeover and the result is a pulse-quickening ride that, in entertainment value, beats anything that mainstream cinema has made in a while. |

And the driving theme of brotherly love gives the film an unexpected emotional soul. |

| 247647 | Hilary A White | Sunday Independent (Ireland) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2017-11-20T08:01:51.000Z | 2017-11-20 08:01:51 | Pattinson nails a back-breaking role and the Safdies direct with an unrelenting visceral edge. |

| 247649 | Jamie East | The Sun (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2017-11-19T14:00:15.000Z | 2017-11-19 14:00:15 | With a style harking back to early Scorsese, the film teases out a bloody terrific turn from Pattinson ... |

| 247652 | Adam Nayman | Sight & Sound | Fresh | — | 2017-11-17T19:36:22.000Z | 2017-11-17 19:36:22 | The masterstroke of the script is how it takes a situation that, in almost any other film of this type, would be played for pathos... and instead strip-mines it for every last iota of moral ambiguity. |
| 247653 | Harry Guerin | RTÉ (Ireland) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-11-17T16:55:23.000Z | 2017-11-17 16:55:23 | While it can be argued that things become too far-fetched and skittish in places, the thrill here is that you really don't know what's going to happen next |
| 247654 | Allan Hunter | Daily Express (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-11-17T10:55:19.000Z | 2017-11-17 10:55:19 | Good Time feels like a throwback to 1970s classics like Mean Streets or Dog Day Afternoon and has a nervous, edgy energy that keeps you on your toes. |
| 247655 | Kevin Maher | The Times (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-11-17T00:41:09.000Z | 2017-11-17 00:41:09 | The urgent docu-style filming is impressive, but it's Pattinson's fearless turn that lingers. |
| 247656 | Edward Lawrenson | The Big Issue | Fresh | — | 2017-11-16T18:40:42.000Z | 2017-11-16 18:40:42 | It's a sly and vivid dispatch from the struggling margins of Trump's America. And it's Robert Pattinson on peak form, giving a performance of desperate ferocity and trapped intensity. |
| 247657 | Alistair Harkness | Scotsman | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-11-15T21:51:40.000Z | 2017-11-15 21:51:40 | The Safdies' raw documentary aesthetic transforms the film into a tense, uncomfortable exposé of desperate, damaged people unsuccessfully trying to bend the world to their own will. |
| 247658 | Geoffrey Macnab | Independent (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2017-11-15T19:00:27.000Z | 2017-11-15 19:00:27 | The Safdie brothers' crime thriller Good Time is a chaotic, wildly inventive but increasingly self-indulgent affair. |
| 247659 | Larushka Ivan-Zadeh | Metro Newspaper (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2017-11-15T17:15:21.000Z | 2017-11-15 17:15:21 | Robert Pattinson finally drives a stake through his image as the moony hunk from Twilight with this convincing, career-shifting performance - his finest to date. |
| 247660 | Nigel Andrews | Financial Times | Fresh | 5/5 | 2017-11-15T15:25:11.000Z | 2017-11-15 15:25:11 | Few of the characters have the first idea what might be coming next - nor do we, strapped into this feral shaggy dog story the Safdies have set rolling, hurtling towards their brilliant future. |
| 247661 | Kate Stables | Total Film | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-11-14T20:55:35.000Z | 2017-11-14 20:55:35 | Pattinson plays a blinder in this gripping, gritty grindhouse-meets-arthouse heist movie. |
| 247662 | Adam Woodward | Little White Lies | Fresh | 5/5 | 2017-11-14T20:45:33.000Z | 2017-11-14 20:45:33 | An intoxicating downer odyssey. |
| 247663 | Danielle Solzman | Solzy at the Movies | Fresh | — | 2017-11-12T20:40:10.000Z | 2017-11-12 20:40:10 | In watching Good Time, you forget that actor Robert Pattinson was ever involved with the Twilight franchise with what is the best performance of his career. |
| 247664 | Michael Bonner | Uncut Magazine [UK] | Fresh | — | 2017-11-03T21:56:21.000Z | 2017-11-03 21:56:21 | It is certainly a good time to be Robert Pattinson. It's hard to think of another young actor who has moved so far - and so fast - away from the long shadow cast by his breakthrough role. |
| 247665 | David 'Mad Dog' Bradley | Adelaide Review | Fresh | 7/10 | 2017-10-20T19:56:54.000Z | 2017-10-20 19:56:54 | Robert Pattinson finally shakes off that Twilight shame with this tense, foul-mouthed and ironically-titled character/crime drama. |
| 247666 | David Stratton | The Australian | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2017-10-19T19:47:01.000Z | 2017-10-19 19:47:01 | Good Time follows in the footsteps of Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets. The action keeps up a relentless pace as new characters are introduced. |
| 247667 | CJ Johnson | Film Mafia | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-10-19T04:50:11.000Z | 2017-10-19 04:50:11 | It's intriguing, bold, exciting, fresh and urgent ... The first twenty minutes or so are staggering ... The original score, by Oneohtrix Point Never, is creepy, evocative and the best of the year thus far. |
| 247668 | Jason Di Rosso | The Final Cut | Fresh | — | 2017-10-12T23:31:47.000Z | 2017-10-12 23:31:47 | Electricity pulses through the film - amped by Daniel Lopatin's grand slabs of retro-futurist synth - which also recalls the inventiveness and physicality of silent cinema comics like Buster Keaton. |
| 247669 | Anthony Morris | sbs.com.au | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-10-12T20:47:02.000Z | 2017-10-12 20:47:02 | ... Good Time always leaves just enough room between the dramatics for the characters to reveal their humanity. |

| 247671 | Leigh Paatsch | Herald Sun (Australia) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-10-11T19:36:46.000Z | 2017-10-11 19:36:46 | How good is Pattinson here? Scary good. De-Niro-in-the-1970s-good. |
| 247672 | Simon Miraudo | Student Edge | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-10-11T03:40:08.000Z | 2017-10-11 03:40:08 | Good Time isn't just nerve-wracking because Connie's scattershot schemes keep blowing up in his face; it keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering how the Safdies even got this footage. |
| 247673 | Craig Mathieson | The Sunday Age | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-10-10T06:00:09.000Z | 2017-10-10 06:00:09 | It's to Pattinson's credit that you slowly start to realise that Nick's absolute belief in Connie is an ongoing act of affirmation that the latter needs. Connie's love is laced with self-interest. |
| 247674 | Emma Simmonds | The List | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-10-06T15:50:54.000Z | 2017-10-06 15:50:54 | An enjoyably grimy, 80s-infused, Queens-set crime thriller about a bank robber busting his gut to free his incarcerated brother. |
| 247675 | Rebecca Lewis | metro.co.uk | Fresh | 5/5 | 2017-10-05T23:36:48.000Z | 2017-10-05 23:36:48 | The film never lets up, pushing and pushing and pushing the viewer into Connie's deeply messed up world. |
| 247676 | Elena Nicolaou | Refinery29 | Fresh | — | 2017-10-03T22:20:49.000Z | 2017-10-03 22:20:49 | But this isn't Edward Cullen; this is Connie Nikas. He's the manipulative, selfish, absolutely electric antagonist of a movie that will bury itself under my skin just as much as that one scene did. |
| 247677 | Vicky Roach | Daily Telegraph (Australia) | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2017-10-02T20:40:25.000Z | 2017-10-02 20:40:25 | At the heart of this off-balance heist movie is a story of brotherly love. |
| 247678 | James Marsh | South China Morning Post | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-09-25T12:25:12.000Z | 2017-09-25 12:25:12 | Often challenging and uncomfortable to watch, the ironically titled Good Time is a feverish head trip that seizes you by the throat and refuses to let go. |
| 247679 | tt stern-enzi | Cincinnati CityBeat | Fresh | A | 2017-09-12T00:05:28.000Z | 2017-09-12 00:05:28 | It is not just a Good Time for Pattinson, but a perfect moment for genre and movie stars (and directors like the Safdies) to explore new possibilities. |
| 247680 | Jordan Hoffman | Thrillist | Fresh | — | 2017-09-11T18:50:53.000Z | 2017-09-11 18:50:53 | Forget Twilight and Kristin Stewart romance rigamarole. Those days are done. Pattinson's take on a Queens dirtbag with an adrenal gland on overload proves he's the real deal. |
| 247681 | Eric Melin | The Pitch | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-09-09T16:30:25.000Z | 2017-09-09 16:30:25 | Good Time is thrillingly alive, both hard to look at but impossible to turn away from. |
