    Every single character in that movie made me physically angry. Which probably proves your point. It wasn’t anger at Adam, it was anger at the character and his stupid shitty life choices

      Uncut Gems is anxiety incarnate. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but undeniably a masterpiece.

        I really didn’t enjoy the movie but it was solely for this reason. It made me feel physically sick the entire time. I guess it’s powerful in that regard.

      I’ve never understood gambling addiction other than as a gambling-version of substance abuse. Uncut Gems brought it into sharp, uncomfortable, focus.

    Maybe I just have a bad opinion but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed almost all of his movies. Not every movie needs to be a masterpiece. Sometimes it’s nice to just watch something that’s relatable.

    Funny People is easily one of the best movies he has ever been in. I know reviews tend to be mixed but I think he does a really great job in that one.

    50 First Dates was quality. Ok, well, my future wife and I enjoyed it immensely. Besides, got laid after.

    I have honestly always really enjoyed Click and I kid you not, I’ve never been able to stop myself from crying while watching it. It’s so stupid but so good

    Except it’s the opposite. Uncut gems was a terrible movie. I loved almost all of his other movies.
