What is a good movie like Uncut Gems?

[Formerly Black Trash]

Please and thanks
Uncut Gems was just ok
I like movies about people just outside of the wealth porn world, trying to get in

And fukk it
Can we talk about how sloppy and unrealistic this dude was thru the entire movie?

No way a Jewish jeweler is going to let some nikkas borrow a opal that they think is worth that much
Said how much the piece was in front of the dude who's trying to kill him through the whole movie
Gave a ho who works for him 100k to place a bet

Dude was acting slow the whole movie
We needed more character development on why he's so dumb and how other who work for him reactdral with it/have to pick up the pieces

That doesn't seem to be like Uncut Gems
Looks like it's post apocalypse fantasy genre

That’s the just the way they cut the trailer. But it’s basically Uncut Gems on water

Wolf of Wall Street
Boiler room

 

[Dad]

Scorsese’s After Hours.

That joint is stressful, just like uncut gems

Well, its not about anything close to "Wealth Porn", but Bad Lieutenant is another movie about a degenerate gambler who owes a lot of money to people willing to kill him


If you're asking something specifically about people outside of the wealth porn world trying to get in, how about The Talented Mr. Ripley

Goodfellas?

He's has a gambling addiction.

The obvious companion flick for Uncut Gems is Good Time, also directed by the Safdie's.

Props to you for this choice. Watched it on a whim since it was a Scorsese film and it was way left as far as what I was expecting. Really dope shyt.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Requiem for a dream

Waterworld

 

[THE 101]

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie

One of my favorite films. A strip club owner gets into debt with the mob. Bad shyt happens. The Safdie's were very influenced by John Cassavettes in the way they use naturalistic acting.

Don't expect some high octane thriller but it's an underrated, slow burn masterpiece, and Cassavettes is your favorite director's favorite director.
