Robert Pattinson’s intense lead performance as a fictionalized Chris Hansen has anchored strong early critical consensus for the A24 thriller Primetime following its Venice Film Festival premiere. The film’s Tomatometer quickly climbed into the mid-90s on the strength of reviews praising Pattinson’s uncanny physical and vocal transformation, director Lance Oppenheim’s debut, and the unsettling look at 2000s reality television ethics. With wide theatrical release set for September 25 and the market resolving on the September 28 Tomatometer reading, additional reviews could still shift the final score, though current guild and precursor-adjacent buzz supports trader optimism around sustained high-80s or low-90s territory.
