Adam Sandler is already getting critical acclaim and Oscar buzz for his Uncut Gems role as Howard Ratner, a Furby-flaunting Manhattanite jeweler with a gambling addiction. This part is certainly one of his rare departures from comedy (think Punch-Drunk Love or The Meyerowitz Stories), but is it based on a true story? Well, kind of.
How the Safdie Brothers Put Together Uncut Gems
Directed by brothers Josh and Benny Safdie, Uncut Gems has been a decade in the making. The brothers cowrote the screenplay with long-time collaborator Ronald Bronstein, going through 160 different drafts. For a long time, they referred to this passion project as the "diamond district movie" as they worked on films such as Lenny Cooke and Good Time. The Safdies had long tried to get Sandler for their film, but it wasn't until Sandler saw 2017's Good Time that he agreed to meet with them.

Telluride Audiences Rattled by ‘Uncut Gems,’ an Endurance Test With a Great Adam Sandler Performance
First reactions from Benny and Josh Safdie’s “Uncut Gems,” starring Adam Sandler as a New York jewelry merchant caught up in a hot jam, are flying out of Telluride. Anticipation was high on the heels of the Safdies’ 2017 heist-thriller-from-hell “Good Time.”
With Telluride audiences’ ears literally still ringing, per the reactions rounded up below, it seems “Uncut Gems” is yet another merciless assault on the senses from the auteur brothers, who previously plunged viewers headfirst into heroin addiction with “Heaven Knows What” and casual kleptomania with “The Pleasure of Being Robbed.” Comparisons to cocaine and pleas for post-screening benzos abound.
Yes, yes, Adam Sandler rules. But the nerve-rattling fun of Uncut Gems is how it synthesizes every Safdie bros movie before it, from Good Time to Daddy Longlegs to Lenny Cooke in a mesmerizing chronicle of desperate schemes…think Mean Streets meets Preston Sturges. #Telluride
