If you're looking for a movie that will stress you out so much you'll claw the skin off your face, this is the one for you!
Patrick WillemsAug 18, 2025If this was set in 2025 the bejeweled Furbys would've been Labubus. Glad we don't live in that timeline

Making a period piece set in 2012 in 2019 is the funniest possible move. We gotta stop Kony

- Jenni Nguyen is "meh" onUncut Gems
aesthetically pleasing but very over stimulating/anxiety inducing in a way that didn’t add much. it feels like it was trying to be ~different~ by being paced in *that way* but it just came off as an unpleasant attempt at capturing the life style they think NYers have.
Shelby lovedUncut GemsOne of the most stressful films I’ve ever watched. Throughout the entire film I found myself mad at the decisions he kept making, but also wanting him to succeed. At the end I started thinking it would all come together, only for that twist to make me mad thinking that it could.
scone lovedUncut GemsWhat a movie. Adem Sandlers' performance is a sight to be hold. The over stimulating nature of this film, while not for everyone, I think, is a really good vibe for this film, considering how intense both the business and social life is in the main characters' life. W film. 9/10

2 hours of noise how does anyone like this movie
Kevin lovedUncut GemsA film of pure stress and anxiety, but in the best way possible. This is definitely one of Adam Sandler’s best performances. The way that he plays Howard is just phenomenal. The whole plot is just incredible and shows why gambling is one of the worst things ever created. So good.
Izzy dislikedUncut GemsAdam Sandler was just screaming at me the whole time. The story was not interesting enough to compensate for the overacting. I just came out of it wishing I had ear plugs. He’s a talented guy, but this one was not it for me.

Woww. I’ve been wanting to watch this for a while and it did not disappoint. Definitely gave me anxiety from all of the chaos and fast pace but I was deeply invested. Adam Sandler did incredible! This film proves his versatility. But don’t even get me started on the ending
Rafael lovedUncut GemsAnxiety inducing and well made. The Safdoe brothers deliver a breathtaking and frankly powerful movie. With a magnificent performance by Adam Sandler, who presented the fact that he is a versatile actor.
77 likedUncut GemsRate it good just for the shocking twist But this -for me- the worst movie for adam. Liked it but i will not recommend it 😐

I couldn't wait for it to end
JPJorge PaniaguaReally great film. Sandler proves he can do more than get a cheap laugh out of people. Planning on seeing it again.
BBbobby bobbyfast moving movie. lacked a solid story. Some of the references didn't sit well with me. Especially the types of bets Adam made and who he borrowed money from . Good on Demand Movie Guys.

Highly overrated. It is just okay when viewed through the narrow perspective of "what are they trying to portray and what do they want the audience to experience. The movie just doesn't live up to the hype. It is just another film that leaves you wondering "what else could…
JCJo ChitlikUnique role for Adam Sandler....very intense
BFBob FreebornAdam Sandlers performance in this movie was outstanding, unfortunately it will most likely be overlooked when award time comes along. This is so far out of Adam Sandlers usual comfort zone that just for that reason he deserves at least an Oscar nomination, not sure he will…
Metacritic

The only term is relentless, and for a lot of viewers Uncut Gems’ third act has been stressful, even traumatic. My response was more one of sheer awe – of the Safdies’ brilliant balancing act, of Sandler’s swirling dance of a performance, and of Howard’s sprint through a minefield.

Sandler is so good, so committed and so watchable that, despite everything — Howard’s irrationality, a rogue’s gallery of unpleasant characters, the foreboding of a bad, bad end — you can’t take your eyes off the screen, which Sandler seldom vacates.

Uncut Gems jitters and skitters and lurches and hurtles with Howard’s desperate energy. Sandler’s frantic and fidgety performance provides the movie with its emotional backbone, and he’s not alone.
