If Good Time hit the spot, these will too

Benny Safdie working the same nerve twice

The same city underneath both: New York City
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both keep coming back to the same thing: life on the run


Gritty and tense in the same breath

Contemplative crime in both cases

Thriller built on grit, twice over
The difference: Easier on the stillness than Good Time

Tense drama, and it commits to that

Both are built on the same subject: drugs

Crime with a pulse of grit, in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on thriller

In the mood for more gritty?
