I had absolutely no desire to see this but watched a screener and enjoyed it more than I was expecting. Sandler was annoying as hell but it was fairly engaging and I thought Julia Fox was great, she's a real find.

I thought it was great, very frantic and nerve wracking all the way through. Sandler deserves an Oscar nom, it's one of the best performances of the year.

Yeah I think Good Time is a better movie overall, but I still really enjoyed this. Adam Sandler gives a great performance in this, and even though the character is a complete scumbag you do still want to kind of seem him make it out in the end. I also agree with Magnus that KG is pretty great in this as well which is probably the biggest shocker, but I loved his scene with Sandler towards the end. The Safdie Brothers have some real talent and are definitely the directors you want to look out for over the next 5 to 10 years. Oh and Julia Fox is fucking gorgeous and a pretty damn solid actress.

I loved it. Yeah, Uncut Gems is not for a regular audience, especially one going in and expecting to see an “Adam Sandler” film (though I’m not sure why you’d expect one if you’ve seen a second of advertising). It certainly wasn’t for the five people who walked out of my showing. IT WAS for me though. I’m not sure if I’ve seen a more perfectly constructed and hilarious movie within the last year.

JUDD HIRSCH!!!

*Chef’s kiss*

And maybe it's because I'm already anxious enough as it is, but I didn't find it anxiety inducing. Tense? Absolutely. I didn't have a panic attack like some people have claimed to have though.

One legitimate plothole though - the Celtics didn't win a championship in 2012, so how special could that rock have been to KG?

Nah.

Maybe his good luck charm was actually Howard all along. Once he got a bullet to the cheek the Celtics didn't have a chance.

A black opal, receivers, and a coach not dumb/checked out enough to call three running plays (that don't include a Brady sneak) in a row at the 1.

The movie is engaging, keeps one on the edge throughout. The intimate cinematography has a way of gauging the changing mood of Adam Sandler's character when he is being stalked by a series of unfortunate events. The on-location shooting and smooth transition from one location to the next provide a realism that englobes the audience into his world.

80/100

I didn't have that much fun watching it until the climax, the plots of the amount of people Howard owed money to felt messy and chaotic, and Sandler annoyed me as much as he impressed me. But I can understand what they're doing, especially after reading an interpretation of the ending. There was never going to be a happy ending for Howard except for the momentary oasis of winning a bet, he was probably just going to bet whatever money he had left and get into trouble again. There's no happiness for this person cause he cannot see the forest from the trees in any way and has absolutely on awareness of his own life due to having the maturity of a child. He got killed only because he bet the money he got from KG instead of just paying off the thugs after him and trying to go straight with Julia. In some ways it was putting him out of his misery to kill him there, at least he got to have one of the only moments of happiness he would have the rest of his life before he died. The ending therefore dramatically changes the movie for the better compared to if they had just gone with the sports movie happy ending

Did this film get Netflix's release or just Mexican Netflix snatched it?

It's on Netflix in Singapore as well

Netflix here in Oz too,

I’m waiting on that blu-ray release...

Saw it. Now I need to see Good Time ASAP

lol same here.

This was fucking great. I've seen it weeks ago and it's still in my head. Doesn't happen too often anymore. Safdie Brothers/Sandler were robbed.

Yeah you guys definitely need to see Good Time if you enjoyed this. That movie and The Lighthouse are the sole reasons why I'm so confident in Battinson.

Yeah I’m the same. In fact I like it more now thinking about than straight after I finished the film!

Great film, I saw this back in December on a screener, which wasn't ideal, so I've been wanting to see it in higher def. since. But Sandler totally nails his part and there's just no way he shouldn't get nominated by the Academy, he maybe should have won even. Julia Fox and Idina Menzel are both great in this too, and Kevin Garnett was also perfectly cast in this. The score just connects the film together in one type of dream like sequence and it's awesome to be part of the ride. Good Time made me a fan of the Safdie Brothers already, they got talent on on their side.

A-

Sandler is a champ here. I don't know if I would have even liked the movie with a replacement level actor in there. That is the mark of a truly great performance and he should have definitely gotten a nomination, but I guess this one slipped through the cracks. B+

I just rewatched this last weekend and it's still great, it's just so frenetic, but the performances in this are so delectable too and I can't take my eyes away from it. It's a memorable film, the score is such a winner and I look forward to see what the Safdie's do next.
