Uncut Gems (2019)
4/10
Annoying and painful to watch.

Warning: Spoilers
Took me 3 sessions to be able to bare through the movie. It's a big mess with a lot of people talking / yelling on top of each other, considered turning on subtitles.

The story is very thin, no likable characters. It's the typical "everything goes downhill"-kind of story. And because of this, the ending wasn't surprising at all. It's very standard for these kind of movies to give a glimmer of hope, and then it just turns out for worst in the end. A "feel bad" movie if you're into that.

The acting is fine. The directing is raw / borderline amateur-ish. But it gives it a real world feeling, also based on the script and how everyone talks on top of each other. That being said, just because something is realistic doesn't mean it's actually good. People just yelling on top of each other non stop for 2 hours isn't much entertainment for me.
