Uncut Gems

Sandler should have won an academy award. Intense and rewarding examine of a guy trying to hit the big one. A must see.

Don't watch this if you have high blood pressure. I don't think I've ever been move anxious in my life. Adam Sandler is brilliant and his character constantly making money and then losing it really brings you on a serious roller coaster. You just bounce from train wreck to train wreck in brilliant fashion.

Great movie! High intensity thriller. Prepare to be on the edge of your seat and an ending that is nothing short of spectacular.

Adam Sandler kills it as the loudmouthed Howard Ratner in the intense and compelling Uncut Gems, that despite a few scenes that could have been altered (for example the opening and ending scenes), is a non-stop crime drama that is incredibly well paced and provides a lot of intriguing character work.

pointlessly stressful content. it sort of has a purpose, but not really. it's just about a guy who cannot take good enough when he sees it, taken to a logical extreme.

No one I know likes this movie, but you just have to get it to like it, so I kind of understand.

The film is a great concept and well done. Sandler easily delivers a top 3 acting performance of his career. With that said, this movie is stressful to watch (which is kind of the point). As fantastic as the film is, it has low rewatch potential because it is not a fun movie to sit through.

The bio says a “charismatic” jeweler… I would say Sander’s character is anything but charismatic. I despised Howard more than I despised Colin Farrell’s Penguin. I thought it was good. I understand by the ending was the way it was, but why didn’t Phil just break the class and end it earlier. I feel like there were a lot of loose ends, but Garnett does make a pretty good actor.

Stressfull is how I'd describe this film. I can't really even tell you if I liked it or enjoyed it. Appreciate the premise and the last 15 minutes were brilliant but I wouldn't watch it again

Uncut Gems is an intense, anxiety-inducing ride that thrives on chaos. From the moment it begins, the film drags you into the reckless, high-stakes world of Howard Ratner, a jeweler and compulsive gambler played brilliantly by Adam Sandler. The film’s energy is relentless, making you feel just as stressed and exhilarated as its protagonist. What makes Uncut Gems so gripping is its ability to make you care about Howard, even when he continuously makes infuriatingly bad decisions. Just when you think you’ve detached yourself from his self-destructive choices, the film pulls you back in, making you root for him all over again. The Safdie brothers masterfully craft a sense of discomfort, ensuring that every scene crackles with unpredictability and tension. The film’s raw intensity, pulsating soundtrack, and immersive performances make it an unforgettable experience. It’s a movie that thrives on making the viewer uncomfortable—but in the best way possible.
