- Excerpt: may be unlike anything you’ve experienced, as if the helicopter sequence in Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas” were extended to feature film length… Be prepared to strap yourself onto a cinematic rocket.

- Excerpt: Uncut Gems is a non-stop, heart-pounding adreneline rush of a crime movie — sometimes to a fault — with a career-best performance by Adam Sandler.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A brilliantly multifaceted experience…although the unrelenting mood does get exhausting.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: There is real cinematic tension in this own-worst-enemy tale of addiction and its ever escalating series of bad bets. But Adam Sandler’s unfettered arrogance renders it far from endearing or fun.

- Josh Taylor @ www.forgetfulfilmcritic.com
- Excerpt: Adam Sandler, in a role he was born to play, gives Howard – and the movie – an unseemly, queasy propulsiveness. He’s aided in this by the Safdie brothers’ singular directing style and their breakneck-paced screenplay – which they wrote with long-time collaborator Ronald Bronstein.
