Here s hoping we re back to all this in 2021
In the year that lasted a decade, the movies helped us to escape like never before. Here are some of our boltholes.
Uncut Gems
Sarah McIntyre says: It is rare that a film as relentlessly propulsive and uniquely gripping as
Uncut Gems comes along - probably about as rare and mesmerising as the uncut opal around which a lot of the action centres in this high-octane thriller. From acclaimed sibling filmmaking duo Josh and Benny Safdie, who were behind the excellent 2017 crime-drama
Uncut Gems similarly thrives on chaos and a mounting sense of stress that verges on panic-inducing. Adam Sandler puts in a career-best performance as Howard Ratner, a fast-talking Manhattan diamond district jeweller who funds his compulsive gambling habit with increasingly high-stakes dodgy dealings. An endlessly nerve-wracking, visceral assault of a movie.
