Uncut Gems 2019

I was surprised to hear recommendations for an Adam Sandler movie so I checked this out.

I want to say the movie is objectively good, but perhaps not enjoyable, depending on your mindset. To be fair, I think I've also enjoyed movies that were objectively bad, so I think it isn't a contradiction. I've seen a lot of movies and shows ranging all over the emotional spectrum; some made me sad, some angry, some happy, but I think this is the first one that made me feel stressed out. Even though Sandler's character isn't particularly relatable or likable, and a lot of things he experiences are deserved, I still feel pain for him.

Maybe my bad luck just helps me relate to the idea of things going wrong any time I try to do something or the situation getting more complicated any time I try to solve a problem. There's isn't really a happy ending either, so it doesn't leave me feeling too hopeful or optimistic either.
