"You're gonna have a good time."

This is technically a crime drama but really it is a story about brotherly love. Robert Patterson is great in this. He really is showing how good an actor he is and trying to put the twilight movies behind him. The cinematography is fantastic too. A lot of extreme close ups make this feel much more personable. The neon colors used made some scenes really pop. The original score is amazing, builds tension really well. Very good movie and I definitely had a good time seeing it.

I never thought one of the most thrilling films of 2017 would be a film about a deadbeat moron and his retarded brother. Its fascinating how great this movie was, i was on the edge of my seat the entire time even though the story itself was nothing special. The characters were extremely realistic, the plot was riveting and the cinematography was brilliant. Good Time is a good fucking time.

I really like movies that can get you paralyzed in front of the screen, which leaves you almost without breathing because you can feel all the adrenaline of the character. good time did that. the plot developed very well from start to finish. the cast fit very well. also having a divine photograph, with neon colors that stand out from the night scenery.

The great and credible performance of Robert Pattinson was essential to pass on that sensation. Pattinson, as Connie Nikas, brought an absurd dramatic charge into his eyes, full of guilt, anger, will, fear. Speechless!

What a retarded movie. Nothing even close to interesting. Everything about it feels extremely low budget.

>"Why do you have to be such a fucking little prick all the time man?"

That pretty much sums up the movie for me. Not entirely sure why everyone seems to enjoy this movie, I fucking hated the guts of pretty much every character in it, esp. Connie. What a piece of shit. [spoiler]It was completely over when he started creeping on the 16 yo girl and tried to statutory rape her... no redeeming quality's in this, at all.[/spoiler]
Nothing particularly good about the movie, story or anything else, either - soundtrack was kinda ok I guess.
Can't say I had a particularly "good time" with this.

Did you ever fall asleep on the couch and wake up at 5:30 a.m. to some long-forgotten 80's "thriller". That's what this film feels like. Maybe it was the awful music that permeates the film, maybe it was the rather dull plot - I don't know. I don't know why this film needed to be made and I wish I could get that 101 minutes back.

Robert Pattinson's performance is incredible. I heard this movie was originally a comedy, but I'm glad they went another direction. What a Good Time!

"I think something very important is happening and it's deeply connected to my purpose".

This was more than a good time. The hype with these character for crime made for one intense movie experiences. This is a ticking time bomb of a film.

Robert Pattinson is fucking fantastic in this. Sorry for the language, but it needed to be said. A fully realized performance that will be talked about for years to come. Few films can make you feel on edge like Pattinson. The Twilight days are past him now and it's time to move on.

Another performance that shouldn't be overlooked is Benny Safdie, who plays Pattinson mentally challenged brother. Safdie is almost the director of the film. Directing and acting wise was all stellar.

It's unpredictable in different ways. You never fully know how certain scenes are gonna play out. Not just that, but how surprisingly funny and incredibly sad it can be. You either laugh at the stupidity of the characters or weep at the depressing reality of it all.

'Good Time' ranks with the very best of the year.

What a great way to end a brilliant year like 2017.

This film is a road trip down night's dark alley, driven by Robert Pattinson's strong performance. (I am, however, penalising the movie because it was strong enough on its own accord that it didn't require the aural homage to Nicolas Winding Refn that the Safdie brothers insisted on paying it with 80s pop/synth.)

>Don't be confused. It will just make it worse for me.

This is quite the opposite of the title so I'd like to call it Traumatic Time. The movie's a crime drama with a tale of brotherly love and much like Uncut Gems, it would cause you to stay on the edge of your seat. At first, I thought the movie was somewhat off, especially since I hadn't been exposed to OPN's music before, but I quickly realized that every choice in the creation of this movie had a very real and intelligent purpose for their presentation and it quickly became one of my comfort movies at the time. The more I think about it, the more I grow to love it. Also, the soundtrack is amazing so make sure to check out the Good Time... Raw album if you enjoyed it as much as I did.

It effortlessly finds that _Drive_ balance of a 70s crime film combined with 80s aesthetics (colourful, retro lighting; synthy score). It’s not as well shot as any Refn film (how could it be really?), but the Safdies have a talent for making scenes feel stressful through interesting use of sound, editing and framing. The story is pretty simple, but it makes smart choices in regards to how it presents scenes to make sure that it sticks on your memory. For example, the heist that starts off the film is very unexciting, which is a great, realistic choice. The movie also trusts the viewer to form their own opinion of the characters, it doesn’t hold your hand. If you like your protagonists as goody two shoes superheroes, this might not be the one for you. The acting’s fantastic and it builds tension very well through just the right amount of twists and good filmmaking.

8/10

Another great perfomance from Patison but movie could be better for sure.. 7/10

I did not have a good time with this movie.

worthwhile watch. i feel like the banner for the movie here kind of spoils things a bit, though

Robert Pattinson is amazing in this! Every movie he brings a different character and I don't recognize him except by his face but not expression or voice. He is like a shapeshifter.

There's nothing super amazing about this movie but it has a good performance from Pattinson and it doesn't drag on so it's good in my books.
