Uncut Gems. 5 carats out of 10.

I don't mind Sandler in serious roles, and I didn't mind him in this. But this movie was not great, and certainly doesn't deserve the buzz and oscar nods that people are giving it.

Writing - they didn't really know what the movie was about. Is it a period piece? Is it about him? Is it about complicated relationships between people? Is it about the stone itself and how we are all just a footnote in it's own millions-years story? They never chose one so all suffered.

Acting - kinda 'meh' on average. Judd Hirsch is always great. Some of the actors were probably just starting out and were fairly awkward.

It was mostly just 2 hours of people yelling at each other angrily.
