Screen Daily
Plenty of films revolve around heists gone wrong, but few have the desperate, grungy velocity of Good Time. - 100
Variety
These restlessly independent auteurs have passed the genre-foray test with flying neon colors, at no cost or compromise to their abrasively humane worldview. - 91
IndieWire
After such powerful momentum, the brothers don’t quite stick the landing, but it’s a thrill to watch them try. - 91
The Playlist
A high watermark in the fusion of genre and arthouse, and an anthemic, youthful blast of generational pop art, “Good Time” is a 100 minute-long string of fire emojis, that begins and ends with a heart. - 91
The Film Stage
It is a remarkably vivid and fresh piece of filmmaking, one that builds on the directors’ previous outings without being overly familiar. - 90
The Hollywood Reporter
This is a richly textured genre piece that packs a visceral charge in its restless widescreen visuals and adrenalizing music - 90
New York Magazine (Vulture)
For all its throttling thrills, Good Time is a film about a destructive love — and loving someone despite not having the right kind of love to give them. Ignore the deceptively convivial title: This is the kind of thrill that sticks. - 80
The Telegraph
When Good Time’s good, it’s properly electric, and the star turn goes off like an illegal firework.
