“Good Time has become one of the most critically adored movies of the festival, attracting fans because of its tense thriller conceit - the action takes place almost entirely over the course of one night, rocketing from one event to the next - and its class-conscious overtones”
— L.A. Times
“Robert Pattinson hits a career high in Benny and Josh Safdie’s nervy, vivid heist thriller, which merges messy humanity with tight genre mechanics”
— Variety
“Robert Pattinson gives a career-best performance in the Safdie Brothers’ Good Time. There’s simply no other modern American filmmaker capable of generating comedy and deep-seated suspense at the same time”
