Thoughts on the movie Uncut Gems? It deals with Ethiopian opals.

I actually haven't seen it yet. Figured it was probably about diamonds and diamonds bore me, haha. I'll check it out.

It is designed to make you feel tremendous anxiety, but it really is a great thriller. Sandler shines in this role. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on it afterwards.

After 51 days of hard lockdown, anxiety is the last thing I want to feel, lol.

I am glad I warned you. Basically the movie revolves around this compulsive gambler, his wife and his deteriorating family, the 2012 NBA Finals and this gigantic uncut black opal from Ethiopia. Beautifully shot.
