Late addition: For a ‘Good Time’ call …

And another film joins an already crowded movie menu for the coming week. The addition is:

"Good Time": Directed by the filmmaking brothers Benny and Josh Safdie, this little genre piece stars Robert Pattinson as a guy desperate to get his mentally challenged brother released from jail. Straight from the mean streets.

Doesn't sound to your liking? It might not be. But the film is attracting decent reviews (a 90 percent rating among critics on Rotten Tomatoes). Here are a few comments:

Guy Lodge, Variety: "(T)he film works … social and psychological nuance into what otherwise amounts to a breathless, battering pulp thriller. …"

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: "Most crime movies, even alleged indies, make it easy for the audience to take sides and establish clear rooting interests. 'Good Time' is better than that: It's not always easy to take, yet you can't look away."

Emily Yoshida, New York Magazine: " '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."

Of course, A.O. Scott of the New York Times describes "Good Time" as "stale, empty and cold."

Hey, you can't please everybody.
