'Uncut Gems' seems to have been generally well received by audiences and critics alike but I'm struggling to understand its appeal. This is a frantic and breathless two and a quarter hours that left me feeling more confused and frustrated than entertained.

The plot in 'Uncut Gems' is convoluted and it can be very difficult to follow exactly what is happening because it moves at such a relentless pace. Unless you are fully invested in the plot, which I wasn't, it's hard to care about what's happening anyway. The annoying soundtrack doesn't help and the constant shouting and just noise in general really started to grate on me.

The only part of this film I enjoyed was Adam Sandler's performance. I know I'm in a minority here, but I like Sandler as an actor and it was nice to see him in a role that allowed him to really shine, even if I hated the film. He's a good actor and if there's anything I enjoyed about 'Uncut Gems' it was his fine performance.
