UNCUT GEMS is the movie that Jews were promised in the Torah

UNCUT GEMS is gonna be the theme of my son’s bar mitzvah.

What a ride

If you're looking for a movie that will stress you out so much you'll claw the skin off your face, this is the one for you!

Not at all what I was expecting. I mean I knew it’d be tense and claustrophobic and well-acted (made a whole video on Sandler, he better give a great performance) but what I didn’t expect was how...huge this film is.  The Safdie Brothers have historically tackled large themes with simpler plots and with a story this complex, despite a clear mastery of the techniques they’re known for, this feels like new territory. Uncut Gems is an inSANELY well thought out story with dozens of storylines working together (almost) perfectly. Feels like the darkest fairytale I’ve ever experienced.

It’s just too bad not a single member of the Academy watched this movie. If they had, Sandler would have been the first unanimous choice for Best Actor in the history of the Oscars. What a waste.

The best live-action Shark Tale remake I could ask for

Making a period piece set in 2012 in 2019 is the funniest possible move. We gotta stop Kony

My anxiety had a field day with this one.

Forgot his name is actually Howard Ratner and not Howie Bling

Adam Sandler is a sleazebag who works with ice (diamonds) and other jewels. This film chronicles what happens when this particular jerk off walks through life disrespecting everyone in it.

Felt like I was gonna have a heart attack the entire time I was watching this. Jesus Christ.

I saw this two times & that was more than enough anxiety to last a lifetime

FUCK!!!!!!!! GODDAMN!!!!!!!!

“Holy shit I’m gonna cum”-

This movie was even better on the second watch through. This movie was so fucking stressful and great. I came into my second viewing focusing more on the character which made it even better for me. Because safdie movies are about bad guys with good intentions. Whose actions cause them to have  a downward spiral. 
Visuals
Visually this movie was raunchy with high contrast but it fits the look of gross New York City but yet so colourfully pleasing during club scenes. The cinematography was great. With cramp tight shots like in their prior movie good times. 

This movie was amazing the writing of howie showing how evryone around him is effected by his excessive betting.

One of the best movies of last decade and The Academy just swept it under the rug. If you hate being anxious and startled from non stop chaos then this movie is not going to be for you, but MAN, after finishing the film you actually have to chill out for a few minutes and catch your breath, as Adam Sandler drops one of this best ever performances, probably his best. A man who constantly double downs on god awful decision making, you become not only stressed out by the loud, continuous, dialogue that has everyone yelling over one another, you are also simultaneously pissed off because Adam Sandler keeps making bad choices that get him into deeper trouble.

The ending is fantastic in a cinema perspective, but SUCKS because we all love Sandler here in this film. Finally, good fortune happens, but all of his poor decision making still catches up to him.

Was rubbing my temple while eyes closed throughout the whole movie but I must say, I love Julia Fox and Abel <33333

The filmmakers had a vision and feeling they wanted you to feel and they succeeded, but it wasn’t a great feeling. Utilized sound in such a unique and effective way- could feel everything the main character was experiencing

you really had to do my man Adam like that

I feel weird
