Good Time Review.

By Meaningbird.

So I just saw Good Time and it was even better than Uncut Gems. I really loved Good Time. I’m not sure where to start with this film because it’s so great I guess I will start with the action scenes which are great they are so fun to watch and intense the acting and characters are also great and this film made me want the main characters Connie Nikas (Robert Pattinson) Nick Nikas (Benny Safdie) and Ray (Buddy Duress) it made me want to see them succeed and that’s impressive because Ray and especially Connie are horrible people but I still wanted to see them succeed and I don’t know why and like I said earlier these characters are acted very well but although I love this film it’s not perfect it has flaws one of which is this action scene involving a dog that was done very poorly and the film slows down a bit with some scenes involving a house although I don’t really consider it a flaw because I still really enjoyed those scenes but there are still more positives such as the camera work which at one point even felt like a documentary also the ending is great but there is another flaw there is a scene where we learn about a character that wasn’t as interesting as the rest of the film.

I really loved Good Time. This is the 50th film I saw this year and one of my favorites for a while I wasn’t sure if I should give the film this grade or the one below it but I finally decided that despite its flaws Good Time gets an A+.
