The Safdie’s knew they were onto something with Good Time. Uncut Gem is a very natural progression, minus the hectic car-scenes. It’s way more stripped down. But not less stressful. It takes place in midtown on 47th St between 5th & 6th Ave in the Diamond District. The car-scenes are replaced with a constant overload of sound & noise layers that floods over you.

Thinking of Vinterberg's daughter, who was supposed to play Mikkelsen's daughter in the film, but sadly died in a car accident in 2019.
Stream available at Angelika Anywhere.
