“It starts to turn him on, and even into a mini-Hansen.”
“Pattinson has made oddballs, nutcases, and psychosexually damaged neurotics his calling card in his recent years.”
“Hidden cameras are rigged around set, and actual “Primetime” crew members form the backdrop of production staff swarming on the “To Catch a Predator” set.”
““Primetime” moves at the propulsive pace of a thriller, but has the style of an arthouse horror movie at its squirmiest.”

“Worth district attorney who shot himself not far off-camera as the operation zeroed in on him.”
“Robert Pattinson is a freaky freak from frame one of Lance Oppenheim’s reality-TV thriller “ Primetime ,” in which the English actor stars as beleaguered American TV host Chris Hansen of “To Catch a Predator” fame.”
“Documentary filmmaker Oppenheim (“Ren Faire,” “Spermworld”) deploys an arsenal of retro-period cinematic affectation, having tracked down the original DV cameras used for the show, shooting digitally and then scanning the footage to 16mm.”
“Related Stories ‘My Sad Dead’ Review: Pablo Larraín’s Eerie Netflix Ghost Story Just Wants Us to Listen Married ‘All That She Wants’ Filmmakers Scarlett Bermingham and Andrew Rhymer on Making a Rom-Com About Trying to Get Pregnant Oppenheim directs him as a funhouse mirror version of the broadcast journalist and former “Dateline NBC” correspondent who spun a weekly segment of televised, candid-camera-style spin operations into “To Catch a Predator,” which aired from 2004 to 2007.”
“The ensemble is equally strong, especially Wever and a cameo from Jessica Hecht as an acid-tainted rival news producer looking to poach her.”
“The freckle-faced, admittedly “nubile”-looking (one of the Perverted-Justice member’s words, not mine) Gisondo imbues a layered sadness into the film, as he’s playing an aspiring SAG actor now thrust into the worst and darkest role of his life.”
““Primetime” tips toward an element of the probingly contradictory and deep when Hansen searches his name on the National Enquirer’s webpage, only to find zero results.”

“His right arm is Andie Bender (Merritt Wever, chillingly and coolly channeling Faye Dunaway in “Network”), self-described as the kind of producer “who doesn’t do well with feel-good stuff.” Their dispatchers use screen names like MarriedAndLookingForFun31313 (Tony Revolori) and Crazyfrog73 (Jonathan Lipnicki) to send sexually explicit messages to possible offenders, and then send in decoys like Del (Phoebe Bridgers, the folk singer/songwriter making her acting debut) and Dan Plum (Skyler Gisondo), who affect their voices and physical carriage to resemble children.”
