This film is a borderline masterpiece. The Safdie brothers, who directed this movie, have showed their potential to be some of the best directors working today. The film presents a grimy and filthy universe in the Queens area of New York, and all of it feels real. The film simply follows our main character on a mission to get his mentally deficient brother out of jail. All the preformances are spectacular, especially from Robert Pattinson, who gives by far the best preformance of his life. The score is superb, made up of mostly synthesizers and experimental noises. The cinematogrophy is full of close-up shots on characters' heads, highlighting the Safdie brothers' style, and enhancing the dark and grimy tone of the film. There is truly no time to breathe as the entire movie is action-packed, all happening in real time. The pure cruelty and brutality on display throughout the film adds to the realism and shock value recieved as you watch the film. I consider Good Time to basically be a perfect movie, as I truly can't think of any single problem I had with it. It's a must watch.

This film is very well done. The cinemotography was done exquisitely, as every shot is well composed and very pleasing to look at. The acting, especially from Alex Wolff, Toni Collette, and Milly Shapiro are all fantastic. For a directorial debut, the film knocks it out of the park. I would consider the majority of this film to play out like a psychological thriller, as most of it is suspense being built up. Near the end of the third act is when things truly get scary. There are a lot of memorable and unsettling scenes throughout the film, and I thoroughly enjoyed every part of it right up until the ending. I won't spoil it for you, as I feel you should go into this film knowing as little as possible, but it felt like the entire movie was original and different right up until the end when it turned into something I felt like I had seen before. Regardless, this is a very well done and captivating movie that I urge you to go see.
