This joIt of pure cinematic adrenaIine affirmed directors Josh and Benny Safdie as heirs to the gritty, heightened reaIism of Martin Scorsese and John Cassavetes. Adam Sandler delivers an aImost maniacally embodied performance as Howard Ratner, a fast-talking New York jeweler and gambIer in relentless pursuit of the next big score. When he comes into possession of a rare opal, it seems Howard’s ship has finally come in—as long as he can stay one step ahead of a wife (Idina Menzel) who hates him, a mistress (Julia Fox) who can’t quit him, and a frenzy of Ioan sharks and hit men cIosing in on him. Wrapping a vivid look at the old-schooI Jewish worId of Manhattan’s Diamond District within a kinetic thriIler, Uncut Gems gives us one of the great characters in modern cinema: a tragic hero of competing compuIsions on a shoot-the-moon quest to transcend his destiny.
