Uncut Gems (Safdie Brothers, December 13, 2019) Movie • Page 31

ELARA.FM

josh interviewed Buddy Durress (and Pete Davidsons mom for some reason?) from Rikers. Haven’t listened yet but definitely interested

 

on Netfix now

 

In 4K too!

 

I just watched this. How did people talk about it for 30 pages

 

Because it’s fantastic

 

I mean that’s a take I guess

there wasn’t any other opinions in those 30 pages? Feel like usually it’s polarizing stuff that generates pages like that

 

It is a movie with very high meme potential.

 

so you didn’t like it :(

 

I just found it to be okay I guess. The ending was wild tho. But I was just anxious for the whole movie and it was chaotic and overwhelming and had so much behavior that I abhor

I guess I should say I had semi high expectations bc I saw a lot of people love it

 

Pretty much how we all felt, to be fair

 

I also thought it was very funny

 

all of those are reasons I loved it.

 

It was incredibly anxiety inducing for me and I loved it because it was so effective.

 

I didn’t think it was great because I didn’t think it connected all of the pieces and ideas they had going for it all that well

 

It was a giant stress fest about a POS character that I somehow still rooted for

 

It’s great. I should watch it again. The Safdies are great at playing with heavy ideas and incredibly volatile atmosphere, even if all the threads don’t connect it’s a pretty solid experience.

 

I mean I love a good movie that can induce some anxiety but without all the shittiness. I feel like they used a lot going on to cover up the fact that it didn’t..go anywhere? (I mean there were parts that in my opinion didn’t get fleshed out at all or were thrown in). Definitely didn’t need to be 2 hours lol

 

Did you watch Good Time? imo it’s a much better film that justifies its 2 hour runtime more than this

 

Nope I’d never heard of it until I started scrolling through this thread

 

I do like Good Time more but it’s darker and grimier

 

I like Good Time a lot more, but Gems is still fantastic. I can't blame somebody for not liking either movie, the movies are definitely abrasive and jarring. But I'm all for it. Can't wait to see what they do next

 

I didn’t dislike this movie cuz it was absrasive, i disliked it because I didn’t find very interesting. I didn’t feel like it had a lotta meat on the bones. Even with Adam Sandlers’ amazing performance, I thought his character was so bland.

it reminded me of American Beauty or something in how it’s “provocative” but not actually all that thoughtful.

great music tho
