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 tried so hard to like this movie, but it just didn't do anything for me or for the movie itself. It felt boring and slow and didn't really go anywhere until the very end. Although speaking of the end I loved it great interesting ending to an overall dull movie. I am also very happy it did well because it helped the Safdie brothers create great movies like Uncut Gems and Marty Supreme. I feel their movies need bigger budgets to do what they need to get done.

Pattinson and Safdie are incredible. Hidden gem, no pun intended.

It’s kind of like if requiem for a dream was playing football and was a linebacker on steroids and just snorted a line of coke before running out through the tunnel. It’s like pure adrenaline.

A story about a glorious mess up in life that seems can do nothing right. It had some good parts and some slow parts but overall enjoyed the watch!
