Uncut Gems is non-stop anxiety. The dialog (filled with yelling and talking over each other), the fast cuts, the score and the story itself are all designed to overwhelm the audience with sense of dread. It's like standing on the edge of a high dive platform over an empty pool in a windstorm.

If you like that sort of thing you'll love this movie. If you don't, you'll walk out of the movie with 45 minutes remaining like I did. By that point I had nothing invested in the pathetic character of Howard Ratner, and didn't care if he lived or died. I just wanted to escape the insanity.
