Good Time (2017)

  • Safdie, Josh & Benny
  • 2017, Josh & Benny Safdie, USA

Thereโ€™s always dark comedy and human pathos round the corner in this grungy stab at the heist-thriller, backed by a pulsating electronic-synth score and a frantic performance by Pattinson.

  • 3 Comments

A hip, strange, stylish, oddball-ish attempt by P.T. Anderson to capture the drug-fueled exploits of Thomas Pynchonโ€™s eccentric detective operating in the dirty, seedy 1970s.
