People who Complain about Uncut Gems Being too stressful is Like Complaining about how a Horror Movie is Too scary... Thats The Point, This Movie Is Amazing
Movie Geek 1. I never said its a perfect movie. No one did. So I don’t know where you’re getting that from. 2. Stop liking your own comment to make yourself feel better. That’s just kind of sad. 3. I didn’t ignore any “flaws”. Those are not “flaws” those are your claim of “criticism”. 4. Not every movie is about character “development”. The character of howard is portrayed as a flawed man and the movie deals with obsession. You have no idea what the power of gambling does to someone, and this movie portrays it subtle and brilliantly. Watch the movie again cause it clearly went over your head.
This always felt like a 2 hour panic attack. I mean, the first 3 minutes begin with Ethiopian miners and Chinese businessmen fighting over each other because a miner got heavily injured, and the tension gets higher and higher. This is without a doubt, one of, if not, the best thriller film of all time.
You should check out the composers solo work he was an electronic artist before all this that has a lot of clout with music nerds. Goes by oneohtrix point never.
It felt like it was over everything and drowning, just like when they talk over each other, and that's probably intentional because it makes you anxious
This movie has a visual aspect that I miss on current movies. That classic panavision 70mm texture that for some reason, was used masterfully through the 2000s just before the digital cameras took over. Have no idea if that’s what they used for this movie but it brings a nostalgic element that I certainly enjoy.
Love how sandler snuck his comedic nature into the movie by having the most alluring intro sequence coupled with the most nostalgic soundtrack of our generation, transition into a colonoscopy.
Yes, I love that. There is a thin string of comedy throughout the high anxiety, and grit, topped finally with a shockingly semisweet finish that is oddly satisfying, yet makes one wants more. Man, ...I have to stop watching that British Baking show
@@williamjeune6469 hang up there for a sec, i have The Dark Knight on line 3 and....I also have a few missing calls from Do The Right Thing, 2001: Space Odyssey, The Lighthouse..... what's up with the Academy choices?smh *stares at the oscars with shame*
@@AaronIsaacVasquez absolutely, would love to see a horror film from them. or just any subsequent film from them. don't know how a Safdie horror flick would turn out, but they've got my trust after Good Time and this movie. they're a very talented tandem
Chris McKenna And yet some folks would say that it’s too stressful, too loud, too much swearing, or that the characters are too unlikable. Like that’s the damn point of the whole film. The movie was great and Adam Sandler was phenomenal in the film. Those people need to go back to predictable, unoriginal blockbusters.
I really loved Keith Richards (Phil’s character in the story,) especially for a first time actor he really fleshed out his character with his given screen time. Even though he only pops in every other 30 min or so to press Howie for money, but he had a shady vibe or aura about him, one that I couldn’t have expected him to have pulled the gun at the end which made it kinda exciting for me at least. His natural New Yorker voice and accent too, is awesome, I want that snub nose he used on Howie! Safdies really did a good job of integrating so many elements into this gem like intensity, anxiety, horror, even throwing comedy in there to lower our panic, only to pop it off at the end.
First 10 minutes, major plot points and character relationships: 1. Howard's increasing debt problem with Arno 2. Howard's health issues and stressful life 3. Julia as the one person Howard can rely on
4. He has a failed marriage, since he has kids, but is canoodling with someone who clearly isn't their mother 5. He's a compulsive gambler, even his bookie is tired of seeing him.
I def agree. If anyone can make me believe that they love Adam Sandler, that person deserves an Oscar. I would have not been able to even give him a kiss, eek!
J45SAL I have to laugh at all the people who call this a bad film because it’s stressful and has a lot of yelling, like that’s the whole point of the movie. It’s amazing.
First 10 minutes and I'm having a panic attack. This movie is such a masterpiece that will stay with me for ages. The music is phenomenal too, what an atmosphere setter.
please refrain from calling this movie a “panic attack”. It’s insulting to anyone who struggles with real life panic attacks and very triggering. I highly doubt you had a medical panic attack you wouldn’t be able to watch the movies.
@@russiasvechenaya58I know, right? And I find it pretty over-the-top that so many people are calling it that. It’s a stressful watch but there are wayyyy more stressful, more difficult to watch films.
Movie Geek Stop commenting on every comment thread. We get it. You didn’t get the movie. This movie had an excellent ending and excellent writing. It clearly went over your head. Go watch more movies please.
johnnycoxville13 “gO wAtCh mOrE mOviEs PleAsE” maybe you should pick up a book on screenwriting and learn something before talking out of your ass, there is a reason this movie wasn’t nominated for an Oscar, hopefully one day you will get it
Movie Geek Ummmmm what? So the fact that this movie “wasn’t nominated for an Oscar” is your justification to why it’s badly written? Wow. You have terrible arguments and you have 0 idea what you’re talking about that it’s kind of hilarious. You have an Aquaman picture on your profile. It was nominated for 0 oscars. So it means its a shitty movie right? What about shazam thats in your header? It has 0 oscar nominations, so it’s a shitty movie? See the terrible arguments you gave me? Yeah, I think you should really think before you comment something.
Movie Geek Because according to “movie geek” every movie not nominated for an oscar, means “it’s a badly written movie.” Do you see your logic there? That is me arguing your shitty point. The fact that you don’t see that shows me you’re an in denial, insecure film poser. Go get attention for other people you absolute clown. You know nothing about movies. Educate yourself.
I’ll admit that Adam Sandler killed it in his role. But because he’s been in so many comedies, it was very jarring seeing him in a serious role. So many times in the movie, i was waiting for his character to just burst out laughing and do something funny
I had a *very* low opinion of Sandler as an actor prior to this film, and I almost gave it a pass solely because he was the star. Honestly impressed he had this kind of range in him. Hopefully he stops doing his lazy comedy cash-in films and switches to more dramatic roles, because he was great here.
IKR its a genius casting choice by the Safdie brothers, there could be only one actor that could play that Jewish man with childish attitude, kind of endearing and amusing despite his horrible flaws. I mean Adam Sandler is such a logical choice to make for this role. Plus, the subversion of what we except from him makes the movie even more impactful. Uncut Gems truly is a masterpiece.
Uhh, that’s not what I’m seeing. There’s a tense situation playing out with thugs collecting money with threats of violence. They manhandled him and took his money and watch off him. The jewelry selling was just in the backround cause it happened in a jewelry store.
I will continue to say that this movie is a MASTERPIECE...To the educated...it will always be recognized as one of the most brilliant films of this era...not quite on the Scarface, The Godfather level...but not so far off.
this movie brings out so many emotions. the amount of tension and anxiety you feel through the story plus the tragic ending gives you a real thrill. this story is far from predictable and thats what i want from a movie. the fact that kevin Garnett played basketball as hard as he possibly could after seeing the stone and the power it held made the importance of the stone in this movie so interesting
Even though it’s not really a comedy. Adam Sandler screwing people over and him trying to pick up the pieces is really funny and stressful at the same time.
Incredible movie. Extreme spoiler coming Killing Howard in the end was the most perfect way you could end the movie. It’s the best way to give off the message of how dangerous doing his work is in real life
Actually he died because of his greed. He could have just returned the 100k and interest to arno with the 165 k he got. But he still made the bet which could have got him killed for sure if it went south. So why should he be spared after giving so much stress to the mafia guys
I watched this at the movies and was a nervous wreck. I loved it so much, I turned around and saw it again. GREAT movie. LOVE seeing this side of Adam Sandler.
OMG the anxiety! Haven’t seen it but I can’t help wonder, how the hell is he keeping it together through all this. Owing money to shady people, having collectors bitch slap you in front of employees or coworkers and customers is stress enough but it’s one thing after another and the movie just started. I love how the girl says you wanna see your kid or cuddle, he mopes over to the bed, she hold his head for 2 seconds then starts running her mouth again. 😂 This looks like a good movie I’m ready to check out right now. I’m curious to see how long these intense sense last with stress and can it keep my attention at the same time. I think it’ll do just fine. 10 min In and I was completely absorbed wanting to know more and how long will it take for him to cave in or will he get out of this mentally and physically intact if even alive. Barely Alive seems like his best shot right now. Not sure what to expect but here I go!
this movie is fantastic...the tension the movie creates and they don't take the foot off the pedal throughout the entire movie. wow, every dynamitic of every relationship he has is so toxic, even when he is talking to his daughter in the kitchen and he's like are you ok , and she's like yeah dad I'm fine....he knows she views him in a negative light but wont say it..fabulous movie ..
Two of the best things recently released on Netflix: Uncut Gems and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Can’t wait for DARK Season 3 and F Is For Family Season 4 to come out, this month!
I seriously hope they keep making films in this exact same style...however as artists I wouldn't be surprised if they avoid this kind of thing again. I was actually very surprised to see this, as the successor to Good Time, was so damn similar in terms of pace, camera work, soundtrack etc...it could easily work as a double feature movie.
this is one of the finest movies ever, certainly Sandlers best and defiantly his Oscar performance. the twist of the ending is on par with the departed. an excellent film. to not even be nominated when so many agreed? its why i dont pay attention much anymore.
Holy shit at 7:12 Arnold says his last name in the voice-mail and it's the same name Aranbayev as the credits name that flashes on the screen. Never noticed that lil easter egg.
The fact that Adam Sandler DIDN'T get an Oscar Nomination for best actor shows how two faced and blissfully out of touch the AMPAS really is. They actively HATE the movie going public.
People say this movie is stressful don't realize some of us out here in sales world are in this level of anxiety hour after hour. 😂. This shit is real life for some and make or break each day.
Unfortunately, I didn't particularly enjoy this film overall, but that transition from the gem to the colon is an absolutely fantastic opening sequence. Outstanding soundtrack, too.
The era this movie take place in was the were my golden years. The directors nailed it with the phones, music, and celebrities, ect. that were at the top of their game at this time. I used to watch this movie on Netflix while I was at work all the time, audio only 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣. Still good.
Anyone else notice how the worker dude in Howard’s phone as he’s telling KD about how he learned about the stone is the same dude who was badly injured in the beginning? This movie is full of callbacks like that and I love it.
If I make a song then this is my first title of the song is "Gems" because this is where everything about shine objects and chaos moments come in mind!
This film instills panic from the opening. Then you follow the story of a piece of gemstone that just makes everyone’s lives worse when they believe the opposite.
In the beginning: Wow, Howard is being proper and respectable but they treat him like this! He's really strong and they're bullies! Eventually: Now I know why. 7:05 Even when it's a serious movie, Adam makes people laugh. Also, I wasn't mad at Phil because I know that Adam wanted him to slap his character in a really realistic manner.
He also gave Niko, well the fat gangster dude one of Demonys fake watches. Which in the movie we see him angry and yelling outside with Phil. I barely just caught that a 10th viewing
The movie is so good but for a second during the intro transition I thought it was going to be about mind control and got really excited. I think that would've just made the storyline that much more amazing if they would've tied that in but alas
Can someone (who’s seen this) explain the backstory of the Michael Jackson pendant. Weeknd is seen in pic with it on Julia’s camera. Howard then sells it. (How’d he get it?) Flawless later asks for ‘my Michael Jackson pendant back’ (what was Weeknd doing with it?) did Howard hold it for Flawless and Julia let Weeknd rock it for a video or something....it’s confusing

@@acsone3546 Maybe. I mean, it could be possible.
Seriously, my heart was jacked by the end
The music is used so well it makes you 100x anxious.
I like how the music is not even scary or has an intense nature. But it does fill you with an odd dread.

I’m confused as to how she got the weekends MJ on the cross pendant. Did she say she bought it for $3500?
The fact that Adam Sandler DIDN'T get an Oscar Nomination for best actor shows how two faced and blissfully out of touch the AMPAS really is. They actively HATE the movie going public.
This is without a doubt the most New York film I ever watched
Julia Fox was AMAZING
Knew her back when I was in high school
She definitely was getting with 17 year old boys when she was in her early mid 20s lmaooo

9:28 The Weeknd performed at the Superbowl Halftime Show.
People say this movie is stressful don't realize some of us out here in sales world are in this level of anxiety hour after hour. 😂. This shit is real life for some and make or break each day.
Unfortunately, I didn't particularly enjoy this film overall, but that transition from the gem to the colon is an absolutely fantastic opening sequence. Outstanding soundtrack, too.
The reason why Bobby Bouche is swearing so much is so that he can overcome his stutter. 😂😅
my favorite movie of all time thank you ben and josh
What a movie 🎬
Sandler delivers once again a real gem 💎 🙌 ✨️ ✨️
The era this movie take place in was the were my golden years. The directors nailed it with the phones, music, and celebrities, ect. that were at the top of their game at this time. I used to watch this movie on Netflix while I was at work all the time, audio only 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣. Still good.
Anyone else notice how the worker dude in Howard’s phone as he’s telling KD about how he learned about the stone is the same dude who was badly injured in the beginning? This movie is full of callbacks like that and I love it.
@@VeilStig tell me bout it lol
If I make a song then this is my first title of the song is "Gems" because this is where everything about shine objects and chaos moments come in mind!
This is carefully constructed to give me anxiety while watching. It's very good at what it's aiming for.
This film instills panic from the opening. Then you follow the story of a piece of gemstone that just makes everyone’s lives worse when they believe the opposite.
In the beginning: Wow, Howard is being proper and respectable but they treat him like this! He's really strong and they're bullies!
Eventually: Now I know why.
7:05 Even when it's a serious movie, Adam makes people laugh. Also, I wasn't mad at Phil because I know that Adam wanted him to slap his character in a really realistic manner.
He also gave Niko, well the fat gangster dude one of Demonys fake watches. Which in the movie we see him angry and yelling outside with Phil. I barely just caught that a 10th viewing
yeah there's still comedic moments but they're very different from sandler's usual brand of humor
This is a Masterpiece 🖤
I cant stand the Mistress but damn she's fine.
The movie is so good but for a second during the intro transition I thought it was going to be about mind control and got really excited. I think that would've just made the storyline that much more amazing if they would've tied that in but alas
BEST MOVIE OF THE DECADE AFTER THE IRISHMAN OR MAYBE OVER
CRIMINALISTIC KNOWLEDGE One of the best movies of the decade for sure
One of the best intro songs ever
Great movie, Sandlers character is just so destructive.
Love the score
This movie Is a Masterpiece
I love how his first interaction with Phil is getting slapped in the face.
This movie is a true modern masterpiece and it’ll go down in history like Casablanca, the godfather, and movies like that
Can we talk about how incredible OPN’s score is?
Gosh Howard is so likeable yet unbelievably frustrating
More movies like this should get made.. Sandler you da bomb ❤❤
The music is so overpowering I can barely hear the dialogue. I don't know maybe it's better on a big screen then on a smartphone.
The shoulda done this for good time
Good Time shoulda made 50 million dollars.
Excellent film.
Best soundtrack in recent movies isd
Can someone (who’s seen this) explain the backstory of the Michael Jackson pendant. Weeknd is seen in pic with it on Julia’s camera. Howard then sells it. (How’d he get it?) Flawless later asks for ‘my Michael Jackson pendant back’ (what was Weeknd doing with it?) did Howard hold it for Flawless and Julia let Weeknd rock it for a video or something....it’s confusing
Howard let’s Julia lend his jewellery to the people she takes pictures of u see the weekend holding the furbee as well, then he pawned it off
It belongs to flawless and Howard’s holding it because he cleaned it or something
the soundtrack is amazing
