Film: Uncut Gems

Acclaimed filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie have produced an electrifying anxiety-inducing crime thriller that spares no moment for viewers to catch their breath. Adam Sandler gives a terrific, career-best performance as a charismatic Manhattan jeweller with a perilous gambling habit, who is always on the lookout for the next big score. In a series of high-stakes bets that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime, Sandler’s Howard Ratner is caught up in a precarious high-wire act balancing business, family and adversaries on all sides in pursuit of the ultimate win.
