Uncut Gems [2019]
Directed by: Josh Safdie, Benny Safdie
The choices you make have a way of bringing several outcomes. In this story we follow a man who at first glance looks to have it all. Howard has quite the pizazz! All the smooth talking won't help in his current predicament though. With pressures mounting and walls closing in on Howard; can he still manage to come out on top and possibly salvage his marriage? All eyes rest on one last game can this be the match to finally strike light back into Howard's life?
A dark noir that was slow moving but for reasons to really build up to the story of Howard. Gritty and immersive context. You feel like Howard finally has fortune heading his way. Everything isn't as it seems. That ending I didn't really see coming.
Excellent casting and plot. You really felt like you were drawn into the story. Brilliant!
9/10
