Uncut Gems

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I say the word “sports?” If you said something along the lines of the majesty of the human body in motion, achieving feats of athletic beauty and physical prowess as men and women test the limits of their strength and dexterity, then congratulations . . . on being WRONG, idiot! Sports, like everything else in life, is about getting cold hard cash, something that can be accomplished more easily than ever these days thanks to the explosion of sports betting. Making bank may not be as easy as the commercials want you to think, though, especially if you’re an irrepressible, fast talking gambler peddling the world’s tackiest jewelry. I’m talking, of course, about the plot of Uncut Gems, a 2019 crime drama directed by the Safdie brothers. This loud, loquacious flick made a splash when it released thanks to its many, many, many anxiety-inducing scenes of people shouting over and at each other. Will the Magellans at the Movies bet big on this 24 karat caper, or will the film lose it all on a last minute spread? This is me, this is how I win, by reviewing movies for your listening pleasure!
