Taliah' s role was so realistic. I'm 16 too and I know multiple people who would act the same as her character. I really thought I was watching a real 16 year old. Everyone else did amazing too.

[@digitalsalli]

as in every 16 year old would kiss robert pattinson, i kno i would

[@lovelynaomi723]

She's so beautiful

[@ebbie3013]

i definitely want to see taliah in more films she was amazing

[@rayadakota1332]

this film is absolute masterpiece.

[@user3555]

Taliah was incredible (they all were) but during the scene of her and Robert making out after saying she’s 16(or 14 I can’t remember), my heart dropped and I RAN to google to find her age and I was pleased to find out she’s of age but she made it so realistic I truly believe she was 14/16! She’s going places

You are such a fucking prude did you know that?

[@DendelionBlu]

@@arianna1909 Well it does. What do you care if she is "of age" or not. Do you think something magically happens when you turn 18?? 🤣

[@DendelionBlu]

@@arianna1909 Haha. Do you know how ignorant you are? 16 is the age of consent in the UK. 14 is the age of consent in Italy and Germany and many more European countries. In some states in the US the age of consent is lower than 18. Pedophilia is little children. And yeah it is a sick act. Unforgivable. But a teenager? You call that pedophilia? You are dangerous. Again: what do you make of nearly every country in the world having a legal age of consent far below 18? What do you make of that? Is everyone crazy? Or are you crazy? And how come YOU can't tell the difference between a teenager and a child?

With Buddy’s character, you can totally feel his rapturous, self destructive nature immediately after being introduced to him through the film. I’m not sure anyone but an addict that has been that frayed, at the end of their rope, could possibly portray/ convey that like Buddy did.

[@alexcarrillo3598]

[@abbyhuntley3171]

I'm so glad Talia gets the acknowledgement she deserves in this interview

[@owengraziano7288]

As an 18-year-old aspiring filmmaker, this film has drastically shaped my style of writing and storytelling since I’ve seen it. I’ve gone on and seen all of the Safdie brothers’ other films and I must say they are my primary influences as a potential storyteller. I hope they become our generation’s Scorsese or Coppola so I can cite them as such if I make it.

[@49dwalin55]

You should cite them anyway! Good luck brother

[@keithsweatshop]

buddy was funny as hell. and shoutout to the amazing soundtrack!

[@cahg3871]

Good Time is one of the best movies I have seen in the last several years.The story is far more deeper then a caper yarn,and it will leave you blown away when it ends.Robert Pattinson is almost unrecognizable and put on a tour de force performance and Benny Safdi as his developmentally challenged brother deserves serious mention as an actor.Talia Webster will be an actor to watch for in future roles.I recommend this movie to anyone who likes gritty movies from the ‘70’s.

[@gloverelaxis]

Buddy was so fucking good in this movie

[@DarthVader-qz9xp]

Buddy Duress was being considered the best in crime drama movies after joe pesci. Shame he couldn't keep his shit together. Hurts my heart to know that such an amaziing natural talent will be locked up in some jail for 5 years.

[@Whitney2022]

This cast is so awesome and perfectly put together! Like they are all not only immensely talented and very different from each other but they are all also so intresting to listen to. I love it!

Her name is Talia, my name is Dahlia. We're black, cute, & good actors lol. Love her but.... Could I be the one to makeout with Rob. Like dang I'm jealous. And she's so lucky.

[@rrpearsall]

I know Talia was at least 18 to do that scene.. But I thought she looked 14, the opposite of too old for 16... As white guy, I cringed when I saw that makeout scene.. only bc she seemed too cute, young, and innocent.. It also sucked to see her go to jail.. But then again... this was a dystopian film from the beginning..

[@sydneepasala1810]

[@bbssimpson]

Best film of the year. Ended up making out with my date during the foot chase, and had to go see it again a few days later, without a date, to give it my unobstructed attention - to find out it wasn't playing in the theatre I saw it in... can't wait to see it again.

[@NO.Hard-Turd-Only.]

Holy f***in’ snap!! 😱🤯🤯🤯🤭 I *literally* had NO idea that was Rob Pattinson playing a character in this film! Mind is blown, man! In the shorts it looks nothing like him.. Well played disguise!

Que maravilla, muero por ver la película!!!

[@Pingaheimer]

Just saw it, really liked it. Some very good performances too, btw you can tell how uncomfortable Pattinson gets when Talia mentions twilight at around 17 minutes in. He's been trying to distance himself from those movies with interesting roles like this. Just though that was interesting from his body language; he definitely doesn't want those movies brought up.

[@CarlosHernandez-rl2wg]

Andy Freeman Finally got around to seeing this film. Just watched it a minute ago. Pattinson really did a great job in this film. I can't blame him for trying to distance himself from Twilight, he has talent beyond those garbage films. I really don't understand why people are protesting him for Batman. I welcome it.

[@daltino1]

But at the same time it just shows how incredible of an actor he is to go from Twilight to these kinds of roles

[@Yash-bu4du]

@@dx315 I don't think that's unfair. If he hated them that much he should have walked away they made like 5 movies man. On the other hand I completely understand why he didn't coz it set his career up but I feel people would judge the guy a lot differently if he never did them and he seems talented enough that he would have got his big break at some point

[@nilaheartin142]

@@Yash-bu4du tbh I think it was only after that he felt the whole weight of Twilight really come down on him. I think he had the impression that once it was all over his life would go back to normal but that wasn’t the case. In terms of regret I’d say that it wasn’t the actual filming that he disliked it was the aftermath with the fame and the craziness. However, I think the films were what he needed and at the end of the day I think many actors hate their ‘big break’ films nowadays but finally with Batman I think he’s escaping it.

[@birdies8397]

@@Yash-bu4du Late to this comment, but it was a contractual obligation. With big franchise films, you often don’t get to see the full script because producers want to prevent spoiler leaks. Rob was also apparently in debt and was willing to take any kind of job to make ends meet. Twilight just happened to be that deal that he landed (he previously rejected the role, but took it up again after getting a huge tax bill he couldn’t pay) and was sucked into a multi-year contract without really knowing exactly what he was getting into. He’s also quoted saying that he got into A LOT of arguments with producers over how his character in Twilight should be portrayed and was nearly fired because of it. They wouldn’t let him act the way he wanted, plus he thought the story was ridiculous once he learned about the full extent of his character. Then, he also hated the fame that came with it. I read an interview in Vanity Fair a while ago that he ended up being clinically depressed by the end of the series and needed therapy to recover. So, it was a combo of needing money, being sucked into a multiple-year contract without really knowing what he was getting into, disliking the story once the ball got rolling, lack of creative freedom, and being thrust into the spotlight into a toxic fandom overnight and having the world know every little detail of your personal life. Contractual obligations are a b***, and they’re difficult to get out of. I feel bad for the dude, but glad he was able to get out of it. I can totally see how the mere mention of Twilight probably triggers tf out of him. OP is right that you can tell by his body language here.

[@xxczerxx]

13:00 what is the backstory between Connie and his girlfriend? I got the impression she also had some kind of mental health problem (bipolar perhaps) and Connie uses her for money
