The thing that elevates it above all else is the frenetic energy that infuses every scene, yet calibrated so perfectly so that it stays, barely, on the right side of frustrating. There's nothing more thrilling than that.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 28, 2020

It's a brilliantly exhausting movie that gaffer-tapes us to motormouth New York gem dealer and degenerate gambler Howard Ratner... The thrill and despair of the addict are palpable.

Having looked at it closely, I'd say it's being over-valued. But not by much.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 14, 2020

A terrific, really convincing supporting cast, with not one single character that I didn't believe...

When relief finally comes, it's heartbreaking.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 10, 2020

Uncut Gems is a fairytale written by the hand of capitalism, where mystical highs are followed by crushing blows -- and there's always a price to pay.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 10, 2020

Invites such total immersion in one corner of New York that the picture takes on an anthropological flavour.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 9, 2020

This is the year's most exciting film. You can take that to the bank.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 9, 2020

This fantastically unhinged thriller is one of the most exhilarating experiences one is likely to have at the cinema this year.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 9, 2020

There is more to the Safdies' secret sauce than panic. At first glance the cast has the feel of a group of strangers grabbed at random from the sidewalk, yet it clicks and keeps clicking.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 8, 2020

Motor-mouthed along by Sandler's edgy star turn, it's unrewardingly tense.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 8, 2020

A monumental thriller, which vividly captures its world's specifics and calibrates its snaky plot for maximum nail-bitability. Also easily the best film to ever extensively feature Adam Sandler yelling at a 온라인카지노추천.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 6, 2020

Uncut Gems is full of surprises more fulfilling than the movie's main narrative, from its production design and cinematography to supporting turns from Idina Menzel and Eric Bogosian.

| Jan 4, 2020

My only criticism is that the film takes a long time to play out. Even so, it's a movie that commands your attention & lingers afterwards, as does Sandler's intensely focused performance. This tops everything he's done before & is worthy of an Oscar.

Adam Sandler doing the absolute best work of his career. Really, truly when given the challenge, he more than rises to it.

| Dec 27, 2019

It's a breathless journey that captures the exhilaration and the hopelessness of living life on the edge. It's a gamble that pays off, and then some.

| Original Score: A- | Dec 26, 2019

Cinematographer Darius Khondji gives the film a gritty, twitchy feel. The Safdies give it a story and a pace that never lets up. But Sandler gives it life, and makes "Uncut Gems" a must-see movie.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 25, 2019

There is nothing polite about brothers Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie's newest hyper-adrenalized ticking clock drama Uncut Gems.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 25, 2019

Adam Sandler does award-worthy work as a jeweler addicted to the gambling rush.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Dec 24, 2019

This is the best character Sandler has ever played.
