Review of Good Time (2017) by Compi24 — 05 Sep 2018
The independent filmmaking medium has really built the careers of a lot of known filmmakers. Tarantino, Soderbergh, even Nolan -- at one point or another -- had to rely on the tactics of indie filmmaking in order to get a proverbial foot into the door of the industry they all loved so much.
With "Good Time," the Safdie Brothers have crafted their "Reservoir Dogs," their "Sex, Lies & Video Tape," their "Following." This is a richly engrossing, character-driven thriller with so much to offer on the plotting and structure front.
It hearkens back to the bare-bones, premise-centric thrillers of the 1970's, yet totally appeals to so many mainstream, post-modern sensibilities at the same time. It looks great, the performances are all top notch, and even the music is indelible.
The Safdie's have my genuine attention now and I can't wait to see what they do next.
