It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t checking A24’s website almost daily – mainly for The Lighthouse but today they’ve added Robert Pattinson #HighLife under “coming soon”.   The dedicated page is still under construction, but no doubt stay tuned for updates.  2019 isn’t that far away – says the woman who is yet to see #Damsel.

iTunes has shared a new clip to help celebrate the release of #Damsel in the US.  The part where Rob talks about Butterscotch being unique was used in the trailer, but this whole scene is new to me.  Not surprising since I’m yet to see the film.  Click on the pic of Rob and Butterscotch below to watch

UPDATE: 7 October 2018

Russian Report is now showing the release date for High Life as 7 March 2019 on their website. 

Wild Bunch Distribution confirmed via their social media today that they would be release High Life in cinemas in France on 7 November 2018.  Lucky French.  Also, it seems Wild Bunch and I had the same mindset today in relation to promo posters.

Translation:  

We will go out # highlife , Claire Denis’s new movie with Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, André Benjamin and mia goth on November 7 at the cinema.

 Comprehensive roundup of Damsel reviews from film festivals and releases

He’s now pulled a 180 with a hilariously oddball performance in the western comedy “Damsel,” The New York Post

“Pattinson is a stand-out”, Mr Will Wong

Below will be a roundup of media reviews which will focus on Rob’s performance in Damsel.  In the event that the reviewer fails to mention Rob (because surprisingly that sometimes happens), I will provide an extract of their opinion of the film.  Let’s get started with what to me seems like a positive reaction to Rob’s portrayal of Samuel Alabaster at Damsel’s Sundance world premiere.  Note:  This post will update as the film premieres at film festivals, special screenings and worldwide releases.  I will try my best to denote SPOILERS so I apologise in advance if I inadvertently miss letting you know.

VARIETY (SPOILER WARNING)

The movie that surrounds them unfolds with an invisible wink, yet the pace is so stately and deliberate that at moments one is tempted to call it glacial. The rhythm is no accident; the Zellners know just what they’re doing. (They must be fans of Jim Jarmusch’s “Dead Man.”) Yet “Damsel,” if I’m going to be honest about it, is droll and touching and amusing and a little boring, all at the same time. …

Yet they know how to use a star cast. Robert Pattinson, with a gold tooth where his right incisor should be, hits the perfect drawling note of flaked-out cheer as Samuel Alabaster … Pattinson’s performance is clever enough that we have no problem accepting him as the shambling-dude version of a classic good guy, and then, when the film’s plot turns around on him, that same friendly cracker-barrel face suddenly looks like the image of a man who may have a screw loose.

#Sundance18 review: “Damsel” (Premieres) ⭐⭐⭐ – The Zellner brothers’ offbeat Western starts in one direction, with Robert Pattinson’s city slicker trying to save his love (Mia Wasikowska), but jumps into something far crazier. The tone shifts are jarring, but rewarding.

SCREEN DAILY

His performance in Damsel isn’t as striking as the ones he delivered in Good Time or Cosmopolis, but he clearly enjoys himself playing a gallant pioneer who may not have the mettle required to thrive in the Old West. Pattinson is very smart playing a not-very-bright guy, never letting the portrayal become one-note.

See Robert Pattinson in Good Time at Dominican Republic and Nicaraguan cinemas from 7 December 2017

 

Balun Films, the distributors for Good Time in Central America and the Dominican Republic, uploaded the official trailer for Good Time on 21 November 2017.  I have been waiting for them to confirm if the 7 December release date is for all of Central America.  This morning they advised that that release date is only for the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.  Currently, they don’t have release dates for other countries, but as soon as they do I will let you know.

Here’s their subtitled trailer too.
