Review of Uncut Gems (2019) by Orosznyet — 31 May 2020

I physically feel sick after this movie. The absurd amount of yelling, unpleasant characters, and the "talking over each other" mentality was so bad that I felt like I was watching multiple garbage movies simultaneously. Usually, when I don't like a movie I tend to believe that I'm missing something but this time it felt like there is no redeeming explanation.

The worst is that it gets worse and worse with every single scene. And it's not about the pacing, the story (which was pretty thin) or the performance of Adam Sandlers but rather the overall picture. I'm fine with the music but sometimes it goes from the average okay to pretty bad.

I rarely regret spending time on movies (even if it's bad) but this was so utterly annoying and anxiety-inducing (not in a good way) that I wish I've never trusted the score of this movie.
