I love it when photogs share their photos and call Rob a “sex symbol”. This is new to me.

This photo is new to me and it looks like it’s from the day that Rob was on Howard Stern’s radio show if I’m going off what Rob is wearing. In any event it is definitely during Good Time promo in 2017. Great photo.

The Film Stage posted an article recommending books on film making. It caught my eye because it mentioned David Cronenberg, but interestingly enough it was Tim Grierson who mentioned Rob. This is what he had to say about Rob’s performance in Good Time:

The style of critic Tim Grierson’s This Is How You Make a Movie is simple but startlingly effective. Over nearly 200 pages, Grierson devotes a page each to a film that showcases a different style of acting, directing, editing, writing, and lighting and camera technique. One example is the Safdies’ Good Time, which Grierson slots under the acting heading—in this case, “Motivation,” and “Finding the core of an unlovable character.” “On paper,” Grierson writes of Robert Pattinson’s Connie, “this is a character who would be hard to root for. And yet, Pattinson makes him compelling. No one would describe Connie as ‘lovable,’ but the actor burrows inside him in such a way that this small-time hood has an internal logic that makes sense.”

Movie Monday Spotlight on Robert Pattinson in Good Time as Connie Nikas

Back in July 2015, a little known project called Good Time was announced by the Safdie Bros that would feature Robert Pattinson as the lead.  All we knew was that it was a bank robbery caper.  Information about the film was kept under wraps, filming even more so.  And weren’t we treated to one of the most amazing performances Rob has ever given.  Rob talked about filming under the radar:

“If someone sees two grown adults having a strange interaction with each other, people avoid it,” Pattinson says. The paparazzi and his rabid fans (known as “Twihards”) also were MIA: “There wasn’t a single cellphone picture of me the whole time. I was so concerned about that happening, because I loved [the idea] of the film world being blurred with reality and having people on the street react to you.” Associated Press

No doubt Rob was thrilled with the result.  When Good Time premiered in competition at Cannes in 2017 it received a 6 minute standing ovation and although it didn’t win the Palme D’Or or Rob best actor, the accolades kept on coming.   Here’s a few just to remind us:

It features a strong performance from the criminally underrated Robert Pattinson, Collider

Pattinson delivers a manic, adrenalized performance in the vein of Robert DeNiro in “Mean Streets, a film to which “Good Time” often pays homage.” The Wrap

I’ve never appreciated Pattinson as an actor, not even for his acclaimed roles in THE LOST CITY OF Z or COSMOPOLIS. But he’s on fire here with what’s easily a career-best performance.  Awards Daily
