whaaaaaaa?!?!?!

The new Adam Sandler movie, Uncut Gems, is getting rave reviews. The movie premiered at the Telluride Film Festival over the weekend before its December release, and it currently has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 92 on GameSpot sister site Metacritic. To be fair, there are only around 10 review scores published thus far, but it is a strong start and potentially representative of how the movie will rate when it's released widely later this year.

The movie, which was directed by Benny and Josh Safdie, is a crime-thriller that follows the story of Howard Ratner (Sandler) who is a New York City jeweller intent on amassing more wealth. "When he makes a series of high-stakes bets that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime, Howard must perform a precarious high-wire act, balancing business, family, and encroaching adversaries on all sides, in his relentless pursuit of the ultimate win," reads a line from its description.

There has yet to be a trailer for Uncut Gems thus far, but the rave early reviews are an indication that this is one to watch. In addition to Sandler, the movie stars Eric Bogosian, Idina Menzel, Judd Hirsch, and LaKeith Stanfield.

Maybe he's in the "have to try" phase of his career like Will Smith is because they're not guaranteed draws anymore.

Looks like all he did was act in it.

Which is probably why.

That's a relief. A movie written and directed by Sandler getting a 100% fresh rating is probably a sign of the apocalypse.

One thing that I noticed is Happy Madison (Sandler's company) isn't attached to the film. Seeing that company is a sign for me to avoid the film.

Almost every serious role I've seen him in he has nailed. He should have permanently moved into those kinds of roles years ago.

And he can obviously do comedy, but the problem is the majority of stuff he chooses to be in is lazy, bottom of the barrel comedies with atrocious acting. I saw Blended not too long ago and everything about that movie was just awful. Honestly one of the worst comedies I've ever seen. Why he keeps choosing kids who have no clue how to act is beyond me

Because it's directed by the Safdie Bros. Put him with a great director and he can churn out a good performance. (See: Punch-Drunk Love, The Meyerowitz Stories)

Also, Adam Sandler has never directed any of his own films.

It's incredible, but Cage has been in a number of great films.

His fall from grace is amazing. He's an Oscar winner but he became seen as a joke and can't get mainstream work now, unless it's making fun of himself.

That's what I thought. He funds movies, not directs them.
