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.

Unfortunate reality check for short sighted decision making. Realistically portrayed.

Overhyped, never ending nonsense. Pattinsons character very unlikable. It’s a no for me.

Cool movie about sociopathic delusions. Hooks you in, sound track and acting are stellar. Just not my kind of movie. Story was a bit barren. Nothing for me emotionally. Wouldn't watch again. But if you are just looking for some anxiety and a wild ride, this movie is for you.
