Great movie, has a certain feel to it. Adam Sandler is great with serious characters and this was no different.

This movie has a great scorr, the casting was good I enjoyed the camera work. It built up so much anxiety that made the ending so much better.

This movie was great. Unexpected and original IMO. Adam delivers a completely different aspect of his acting beautifully

Great movie that keeps you glued to the screen!

Uncut Gems is an anxiety inducing thrill-ride from start to finish. From the first moments of the film, clever tracking shots create an anxious and claustrophobic feel for a film that largely takes part in the sprawling streets of New York City. The Safdie brothers deliberately kept cameras close and minimized any panning shots to further emphasize the frenetic tone of the film. Sandler gave an excellent performance as the gambling debt riddled Howard Ratner (I'd argue its this or Punch Drunk Love for his best performance) and his nervous energy was compelling to watch. The score was, as expected, original and creative, really fitting the 'club' vibe of the film. Ratner's downward spiral is expertly crafted through Sandler's thoroughly convincing performance and excellent writing that consistently showed the cracks in his plans to strike it rich, despite his own opinion to the contrary. But where the film really gets good is the message at its core; gambling addiction is a battle that can never be won. Now, while most gambling addicts generally don't end up with a bullet to the head, even in victory, Ratner lost his life. After winning the biggest payout of his life, likely enough to cover his current debts and continue his obsessive gambling, he still lost everything. I appreciated the dark ending and similar to Good Time, having a morally deplorable character get their just desserts is a bittersweet ending that the Safdie brothers have made part of their calling card. The final frantic minutes of the film truly elevated Uncut Gems past Good Time because for once, the stakes were high and felt palpable. And the payoff was oh so sweet once Ratner got exactly what many felt he deserved. Overall, Uncut Gems is a step above Good Time and I'm thoroughly excited to see what the Safdie brothers have in store.

I wanted to see Adam Sandler in this role. He was great. The basic story was quite simple, but It was hard to follow who all the other characters were. The movie was disturbing.

It was a lil confusing with the goin back and forth, but I enjoyed it.

It was good to see that the "Black" Ethiopian (DNA confirmed) Jews were recognized and acknowledged on the big screen. Misinformation has abounded in the history of American media on this issue. I thought this to be pretty major and scored big points for me. It also addressed the issue of exploitation of African people for their resources. The build up toward the end with the unexpected conclusion also scored points for this storyline. Good to see Sandler in a different type of role.

Loved the pace. Loved the realistic ruthlessness of life. Loved the ending. Quality work.

Very good movie. Ending put the icing on the cake for me. Well done.

Seeing Adam Sandler in a dramatic role was exciting. The movie itself was disturbing.

Was disappointed. Very long movie that dragged on

Too much loud yelling and cussing. Bad ending! The only 2 people in the theater.

Edge of your seat. Adam delivers beyond any expectation. All characters are developed nicely through the movie which makes the storyline that much more interesting.

Horrible. Without question one of the worst movies Ive ever seen. Just annoying crosstalk and Loud blather and yapping. Dont watch it. Sucked.

Just did not like it.

It was ok but I would never want to see it again. It was way too busy kind of hard to follow because Adam Sandler's character is so loud and obnoxious. Based on the name of move and the previews I was thinking jewel theif but was surprised but Adam's issues really were.

Just didn’t like it.

This was one of Adam Sandler's worst films ever. Just a habitual gambling hot mess of a guy. Nothing but a lot of people screaming F... Y.. at each other. It was absolutely obnoxious. Should have gone to 1917. Don't waste your money (even at the Redbox.) This movie wasn't even worth watching for 1.98 as a rent.

Worth a watch. Good acting and fun characters, fantastic soundtrack (like a blend of cyber punk and pink floyd sounding) great surprising ending. The bad is the dialogue is mostly people yelling and the music can be a bit overbearing in some scenes for no reason at all, sometimes even literally drowning out the dialogue. The pacing could have been better and the movie was about 15-20 min too long. Adam Sandler did a good job for what its worth.
