But above all else, this is a genuinely funny film from the Sandler family, and hopefully a launchpad for Sunny and Sadie to follow in their father's footsteps. Unfortunately, this piece is not based on a true story, but it has all the hallmarks of such a film. The way attention is drawn to the opal rock (uncut gems) is interesting both cinematically and historically. Rough stones bring romance to what could seem an arid and commoditised approach within. I think he took all the tools he has accumulated over the years and invested the bulk of them in this film. Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler) is a once successful New York gems dealer whose gambling addiction has left his family and career in shambles, and him hundreds of thousands in debt. A Boodles ring with 8.36ct cushion-cut diamond. With his debts mounting and angry collectors closing in, a fast-talking New York City jeweler risks everything in hope of staying afloat and alive. And given the subject matter, it's a film that will allow future generations of Jewish girls to see their experiences reflected on screen, but also allow non-Jewish kids a better understanding of a culture they might not understand otherwise. The stone is polished to its final weight of 8.36ct. There's an unapologetic honesty to the story that feels like an actual coming-of-age experience, and not yet another teen story clearly written by people who weren't teenagers when cellphones existed. THR review: Adam Sandler plays a brash, compulsive New York City jeweler and gambler in ‘Uncut Gems,’ the latest from the Safdie brothers (‘Good Time’). The script, we’re told by screenwriters and co-directors Josh and Benny. She and best friend Lydia (Samantha Lorraine) have been dreaming about their bat mitzvahs since they were little girls, but after the pair have a falling out over a boy, their fight threatens to destroy years of planning and friendship. It’s not based on any true story, although extensive ESPN footage used in the movie gives it shuddersome authenticity. The film sees Sunny Sandler as Stacy, the youngest of the Friedman family (Idina Menzel, Adam Sandler, and real-life older sister Sadie Sandler) who is just weeks away from her bat mitzvah.
