Good Time was one of the most critically acclaimed films of the main programme in Cannes this year. Robert Pattinson delivers a career-best performance as the unpredictable and arrogant Nick, and he is almost unrecognizable behind a thick Brooklyn accent and an admirable makeup job.

It is an audiovisual experience in the right sense of the term, complete with engaging electronica compositions from Daniel Lopatin, who won the award for Best Composer in Cannes.
