This week on Parking Lot Critiques, Jeffrey and Andy discuss Josh and Benny Safdie's Uncut Gems, starring Adam Sandler, Lakeith Stanfield, Julia Fox, and Kevin Garnett. The hosts provide a thorough commentary on the film's innumerable ups and downs, discussing its honest subversion and offering diverging perspectives on a central question: is its protagonist at all likable or sympathetic? Either way, Uncut Gems is an immersive, thrilling, and challenging experience, hallmarked by what is arguably the greatest performance of Adam Sandler's career.
