"Uncut Gems:" A Panic Attack Personified
Not since the Safdie Brothers 2017 film “Good Time” have I seen such an anxiety inducing film as “Uncut Gems.” The film follows Howard Ratner, an unfaithful, degenerate gambling addict in New York City. Howard is the owner of a renowned jewelry shop, with clientele ranging from athletes to artists. The most prominent customer in the film is basketball legend Kevin Garnett, making his acting debut.
