Review of Uncut Gems (2019) by Imtheonlytye — 23 Feb 2020

The people saying this is a bad movie is incredibly wrong. I understand people's issues with it saying "it triggers anxiety easily", because it does, but that was the point. I appreciate a movie that makes me stay on the edge of my seat the entire time and this movie did just that.

Yes, my anxiety was off the wall the whole movie, but it was supposed to be like that. It was showing how anxious and hectic Howard's life was. It put you into the movie and made you feel what the movie, and people in it, felt.

That is true talented cinematography, directing and storytelling. That is what they should be doing. This movie was a masterpiece, in my opinion. Yes, before you watch this movie, if you have or get anxiety very easily, you should 100% prepare yourself because you will go on a very crazy ride, but don't say this movie was bad because of that.

I didn't like the ending much, but that doesn't change my feelings on this movie, that just makes it even better. It made me dedicated to this character. In retrospect, he was such a douchebag, but I still liked him, cared for him and felt bad for him.

After the ending, I felt a huge relief and a weight off my shoulder, in a way, that the movie was done because it made me so dedicated to it. I loved this movie.
