i will say that Uncut Gems made me understand why people can get so invested in sports gambling. i was shaking near the end and was so into that basketball game being played

That movie was concentrated anxiety for me. The gambling was one thing but just for a second, I wanted a moment of near silence instead of people yelling lol

That's exactly why I couldn't finish that movie, so many people talking, no one listening.

I've experience with a family member succumbing to addiction. I couldn't watch that movie.

I think the ending of that movie was a little disappointing. I enjoyed the movie throughout, but I felt like the

cliche was a bit frustrating. The high and sudden low took so much out of it. It was good. Maybe it was the right call, but it was so hard to experience.

I never finished the movie because it was painfully obvious where it was going, and none of the characters had any redeeming qualities. The guy was a narcissist and a gambling addict, and he was going to get himself killed. Having known a few people like that, I didn't feel any suspense or even interest in what would happen next. If he wins, he's still on a self-destructive course. If he loses, he's dead. Or maybe something else happens outside of his control, but who gives a shit? It was just constant yelling and unnecessary friction.
