Uncut Gems is a turbulent masterpiece, directed with agility and bravado by The Safdie Brothers and acted with an Oscar-worthy by Adam Sandler. This 100-mile-a-minute look at the colorful life of a seedy jeweler just might be one of this year's best films when it's all said and done.

Josh and Benny Safdie’s Uncut Gems is a nail-biting stunner. It is a truly overwhelming and, at times, exhausting film that nevertheless completely hooks you. Adam Sandler is exceptional as an infuriating character whose waking nightmare is every bit as grueling as it is mesmerizing. Read more

The more the walls close in, the harder Uncut Gems is to watch, and the harder it is to stop watching. That’s in huge part due to Sandler, bringing every ounce of his trademark charismatic, sociopathy to bear in his customary twice-a-decade reminder that he can really act when he wants to.

There’s nothing even remotely pleasant or absorbing about this tumultuous yarn, and certainly nothing that Sandler’s uncommon persona can save; it’s an overlong, uninteresting, badly arranged, extremely disagreeable downfall that only gets worse as it goes along. Read more

Uncut Gems is net als de vorige film van de broers Safdie een hele beleving om te kijken. Rauw, vernuftig, goed acteerwerk en humor op de juiste momenten. Een rollercoaster om te kijken! Read more

Uncut Gems is een heerlijke aaneenschakeling van chaos, drukte en problemen die zich in een moordend tempo opstapelen. Dat het nergens ontspoort is te danken aan de strakke regie van de gebroeders Safdie. Read more

Niet alleen is het een zenuwslopende film. Ook het tempo van de film is absurd hoog. Een op hol geslagen hogesnelheidstrein waarbij het wel lijkt alsof iedereen in een onmenselijk tempo van hot naar haar holt. Read more
