We watched Uncut Gems the other night. Wow, it was a loud, fast-paced mess. I think that was the point though. I think it was Adam Sandler’s first serious role too. I wasn’t sure quite what to think about it in the end. It was a pretty tragic story by the time it was over. It built up to this huge pay-off you think is coming, and then BAM, it’s all over in the midst of it all going down. I thought the music throughout was a bit odd and misplaced most of the time, which drew my attention to it too much. When the music and audio is just right for a movie I usually don’t even notice or mention it, it simply makes the movie that much better. But with this one, you definitely notice it. And it continues long after you think it should have faded or ended at many points. Just a little odd I thought. Overall though, it was a decent movie with excellent acting and a good story.
