Der schwarze Diamant

...a triumph of building a world and a character that are so infused with each other that they are impossible to separate.

It's excruciating and exhilarating.

This sparkler will be the most exciting film of the year.

What’s the word for a performance that’s loud and meaningful, hyperbolic yet terribly human? That’s Sandler in Uncut Gems: He’s opera, man.

I (...) never once doubted Sandler, whose incisive character work here is probably the most impressive acting we have seen from him to date.

...the Safdie Brothers’ [movie] proves to be one of the most mesmerising thrillers in a long time, and Sandler is a major reason why it works.

A time-bomb of foolish compulsion and childlike rage, Sandler maintains our attention and empathy even as his behaviour becomes increasingly moronic and morally impaired.
