Every single character in that movie made me physically angry. Which probably proves your point. It wasn't anger at Adam, it was anger at the character and his stupid shitty life choices
Uncut Gems is anxiety incarnate. Not everyone's cup of tea, but undeniably a masterpiece.
I really didn't enjoy the movie but it was solely for this reason. It made me feel physically sick the entire time. I guess it's powerful in that regard.
I was just so irritated with the characters that it was difficult to enjoy.
Not a Sandler movie but I preferred Good Time which is the same directors as Uncut Gems. Very similar vibe but less irritating I guess.
I've never understood gambling addiction other than as a gambling-version of substance abuse. Uncut Gems brought it into sharp, uncomfortable, focus.
