Could this be Adam Sandler’s best performance of his career? Perhaps. Directed by Josh Safdie and Benny Safdie, who both co-wrote the screenplay with Ronald Bronstein, Uncut Gems is a thriller film starring Adam Sandler like you’ve never seen him before, alongside Kevin Garnett, Lakeith Stanfield, Julia Fox, Idina Menzel, and Eric Bogosian. Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler) is a jeweller and gambling addict in New York City’s Diamond District, who must retrieve an expensive gem he purchased to pay off his debts.
