Southern’s film has a fun tone that intentionally plays with the freedom of filmmaking, using animation, quick cuts, questionable POV, and more to keep the momentum going.

4/5

Dutch Southern’s Only The Good Survive is a confident and creative directorial debut that, whilst a bit messy, never stops being a good time.

It’s a quirky, witty script that moves at breakneck speed whenever anyone but Brea is talking so that each character gets their moment of cool, casual badassery to sell the idea that they are heroic regardless of intent or fate.

B-

Only the Good Survive contains all the twists and turns of a rambling thriller narrative that lands somewhere between Scott Pilgrim and The Usual Suspects.

And so, a film that initially appears to suggest something like the Nee brothers’ Band of Robbers proves instead to be angling for Edgar Wright lite, flailing wildly in the attempt.
