Uncut Gems

A stressful two hours of screaming and bad decisions

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's the point... We're watching the spiral of a gambling addict. Its pure anxiety, and it's done so well.

I get that but you are not convincing me that this is good

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago

It's good at what they were trying to do. It's not enjoyable.

I guess its personal preference, it's like eating food with a lot of spice. Some people enjoy the stress it brings.

Highly agree. The stress and anxiety is there for a reason. I actually hated it the whole time I was watching, but it was very much worth it. That being said, I don't think I'd watch it again.

First answer I've taken offense to. IMO one of the best films I've ever seen, and hands down the best thing Sandler has ever done.
