Good Time

The weirdest movie this year, where the five stars around here are a mystery to me. The film has very off-putting to the point of being cheesy visuals, I found the ubiquitous Robert Pattinson very unlikeable to the point of being sleazy, I didn't find the story interesting at all and although the script is unpredictable it is far from intelligent. I considered turning it off halfway through, but eventually finished the film with difficulty. It didn't sit well with me. The kind of film where nothing of substance happens at all whether it's a twist, action or violence, everything is absent. 40%. (06/11/2017)

This movie is definitively one of the most interesting ones of 2017. The dynamic musical undertone takes turns with a rather alternative method of transferring the script to the film screen. Alternative in the sense that everything in the film is quite raw, sometimes even disgusting. And Robert Pattinson did a great job portraying a character who is drowning in a quagmire of this human depravity. His behavior just makes no sense at all. (27/12/2017)

Robert Pattinson's performance pleasantly shocked me in such a way that for a moment I didn't recognize any of his previous roles. Additionally, when the story grabbed me so tightly that I couldn't even breathe for the first twenty minutes, I began to hope that the rumors about Drive on an acid trip would at least be partially fulfilled, but these remained only promises. Sometime in the third act, the plot and development stagnated so suddenly and nonsensically that I suspected at times that the creators only seriously wrote the first act. Wasted potential and a race to deny clichés as much as possible, which ultimately trips up all the creators. (13/12/2017)

This is an interesting film that some will be excited about in how different it is, others will be rather disgusted, and then there will be those, like me, who don't know what to think, if it's really that good or if it's actually a misstep that masquerades as good. But it's definitely a film that deserves more than one viewing. (28/02/2018)

A psychedelic tale about how to manage a visit to Dinopark, almost bring a smile to an underage black girl’s face, bond with a strange dog, and do something good for the family in a few hours. Watching this hard-to-classify ride, which is probably closest in poetry to Refn or Noé, is in any case a blast. It's not as visually striking as Refn or Noé, but it has an exceptionally unique atmosphere. It's basically one big night trip in which damn near anything can happen. (24/02/2019)
