Uncut Gems (2019)
Hm, I was much less fond of him; found him a thoroughly garbage person, all around, though the guys after him were of course no better. I found it particularly interesting how his older son looked, dressed, and acted like a kid straight out of The Sopranos apart from the Passover yarmulke, and how the Jewish antagonist's heavies had prominent Catholic necklaces - this NYC jewelry subculture being a place where many ethnicities and traditions come together, and intermingle in a gutter of moral rot and depravity.
Anyhow, a compelling film, and I hope the stunning and captivating first-time actress Julia Fox finds future acting work. Hell, a sequel picking up with her character would be most welcome.
Grade: B+
