Uncut Gems2019

Verdict: 🥇 MUST SEE The Safdie brothers come out swinging with a hard-to-watch, can’t-look-at-it but can’t-look-away-from-it film. The rewatch factor for most viewers will be low, but the journey to get there is sure a rush. The entire movie weaves a gripping tale that just keeps building on itself until an inevitable (yet unexpected) climax—and even then, you feel like things ain’t looking up. Adam Sandler found a way to top his Punch Drunk Love performance, albeit by still playing a dope probably found in the same opal mine. He was exceptional and infuriating. Exceptionally infuriating. The real MVP is the music composer, who hasn’t had a noteworthy credit to his name. What in the hell was he thinking?! Somehow he made THAT score and it was an absolute revelation. A perfect companion to the film. My verdict is it's a MUST SEE but it’s not for the faint of heart and the dialogue cannot be easily stomached.
