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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 27, 2018

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 29, 2017

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 19, 2017

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.

| Nov 17, 2017

The urgent docu-style filming is impressive, but it's Pattinson's fearless turn that lingers.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2017

The Safdie brothers' crime thriller Good Time is a chaotic, wildly inventive but increasingly self-indulgent affair.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 15, 2017

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 15, 2017

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.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 15, 2017

An intoxicating downer odyssey.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 14, 2017

Good Time follows in the footsteps of Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets. The action keeps up a relentless pace as new characters are introduced.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 19, 2017

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.

| Sep 11, 2017

Maybe it's not [the directors'] fault that this dark joyride offers neither an ordered route nor a satisfying destination.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 25, 2017

Pattinson's performance is one of the year's finest and a revelation for anyone who has wanted to pigeonhole him as an actor.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 25, 2017

With Good Time, the Safdie brothers have flaunted their gritty bona fides.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 24, 2017

This film may not exactly be a "Good Time," but it's an interesting one.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 24, 2017

You might hate this movie, but with a passion that almost proves its power. Anyway, when was the last time a film grabbed you by the lapels and refused to let go?

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 24, 2017

Pattinson is what helps us keep pace. He completely inhabits Connie with his jittery, twitchy efforts - he can't stand still, so neither can we.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 24, 2017

Pattinson keeps you interested, even when the movie's tone and pace wobbles.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 24, 2017

Whatever the intentions of the filmmakers, Good Time is a promising but flawed final product.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 18, 2017

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

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 18, 2017
