Bubbly, energetic, frantic, and sexy, Uncut Gems is a diamond from the pile of gems that was 2019. Paced murderously, relentlessly manic, there isn't a modern movie that matches aside from Safdies' good time. That's not to say this movie is a reworked clone.
You root for everyone. You want everyone to get theirs, without bloodshed. However, there are points that may seem impossible to avoid. There's an imminent doom throughline and it can be tough to reconcile with.
This movie is an experience. I saw it in theaters on New Year's Eve. I got high in the theater parking lot and pranced my goofy ass in there expecting a movie, not a challenge. It's a memory and a feeling I hope I never forget. Uncut gems is captivating from the jump. 2019 was incredible for movie theaters. Maybe it's gone forever. But Uncut Gems remains.
