Uncut Gems (2019)
Directed by Josh & Benny Safdie this film stars Adam Sandler, LaKeith Stanfield, Julia Fox and Kevin Garnett. A Jewish-American man's life is falling apart due to poor choices but he has one shot to get out from under it all.
I thought this was a really good look at the degeneracy of a person caught in the grips of a sports betting addiction, you see the protagonist lurch from one desperate roll of the die to another. Always good to see Adam Sandler in a dramatic roll, often they are better than his recent comedies. Well worth a watch.
4/5
