Uncut Gems
Directed by BENNY AND JOSH SAFDIE
Starring ADAM SANDLER, JULIA FOX, KEVIN GARNETT
Released JANUARY TBC
dam Sandler’s greatest strength is his flair for the ridiculous. It doesn’t matter if he’s blue-suited anger bomb Barry Egan in or garbling buffoon Bobby Boucher Jr in – a problem is a problem is a problem, and his characters, a motley crew of outcasts, weirdos and nasal-voiced nobodies, tend to have a lot of them. He cut his teeth as a comedian on variety sketch show alongside the likes of Phil Hartman and Chris Farley, before transitioning into a career as the King of Lowbrow Comedy which made him a beloved bannerman for the North American nebbish. Sandler sceptics cite his ‘serious’, the results are nothing short of dazzling.
