An exchange between my father and I while we watched this:
Dad: "Jake Gyllenhaal looks so much better in this."
Me: "Than in what?"
Dad: "No Country For Old Men"
Me: "... he wasn't in that"
Dad: "Yes he was, he had that stupid hair and the oxygen tank."

Score: B+
Nicolas Cage was born for this movie. From the stupid accent, to the eye twitch, to him sneezing in the middle of the dramatic climax. It's really the only time I can say Nic Cage elevated a film. He shoulda stuck with comedies.
Hell yeah, any movie with a "stick it to the man" attitude makes for a good evening watch

First watch of Uncut Gems: "Nah, this was way over-hyped."
Second watch of Uncut Gems: "You know what? It's actually better than I remembered it."
Third watch of Uncut Gems: "What a masterpiece, praise Lord Sandler."
