Review of Uncut Gems (2019) by Temujin1206 — 13 Dec 2019

Had high expectations but ultimately walked out slightly disappointed.

Great performance by Sandler and there were some brilliant moments but overall it’s a schizophrenic, overly intense, poorly paced feature with a character that is hard to cheer for. I couldn’t stand the soundtrack, yes, it was deliberately aggressive to convey the hyper state of mind of Sandler’s anxious character, and yet I found it too over the top, exhausting to listen to by the end. I probably had too high expectations after Good Time.
