Wow! What an outstanding film!
Ladies and gentlemen, it is raining Oscar statues at the Sandler residence and I have no clue when it will stop! This is certainly not surprising considering that "Uncut Gems" is without a shadow of a doubt Adam Sandler's finest hour, finally knocking "Click" off of the pedestal.
Often times, crime movies can be scary and/or intense. Well guess what? Not only is Uncut Gems scary at times, but it is intense, funny, confusing, breathtaking, and ultimately a ton of fun! All the emotions are on display!
Normally I would advise not to take your children to a movie like this, but this is such an incredible movie that I think it is appropriate to do so. Classic movies that will live on forever should be seen by all people, regardless of age, for example: "Big", "I Am Sam", and "Cast Away". Therefore, despite some adult themes, I am recommending this popcorn classic to you, your neighbour, and your children.
Rating a movie that is as good as this one is extremely difficult. I so badly want to break the 5 bag scale and give this movie 6 bags of popcorn, but in doing so, it is impossible to predict what the ramifications may be. As a result, this film will stick as a 5 bagger, but I'm so going to throw in 15 sodas, as well as a fake diamond necklace.
This way, before you watch the film at home, you can give the fake diamond necklace to your wife and feel just like Adam Sandler in the hit film, Uncut Gems. 5 bags!
