With their visceral crime drama good time, filmmakers josh and ben safdie become essential chroniclers of life on the fringes of New York city.
Neither Josh Safdie nor his brother Ben arrive punctually for our interview at their one-room Elara Pictures office in Manhattan’s Theater District.

He’s flustered, having just raced over from checking out a potential new apartment.
