Adam Sandler Getting OSCAR BUZZ (!!!) For Cray Heist Thriller 'Uncut Gems' - Watch The Trailer!

The time has come, Adam Sandler die hards!

Over the past half a decade, the actor has been giving audiences universally panned Netflix comedies thanks to his deal with the streaming service. After suffering through films like Murder Mystery and The Do-Over, many have given up hope the Billy Madison star will ever star in a quality film again.

Well, those critics can suck a fat Sandy Wexler — because the SNL alum’s new thriller actually looks incredible!

A24 (yup) dropped the trailer for Uncut Gems on Tuesday, showing Sandler as the blinged out Howard Ratner, a charming New York City jeweler on a mission to pander to the elite NBA crowd. As you can see in the trailer (above), Sandler’s performance is ripe for an Oscar nomination: he’s rocking a jewel-encrusted Furby necklace! He has blood on his face! He’s cheating on his wife (Idina Menzel)!

Yes, the actor is doing quite a lot in this Safdie brothers-directed thriller, and critics are noticing. Early reviews of the flick from the Toronto International Film Festival are quite encouraging; Vanyaland called it “a masterpiece” while Cinema Axis said Sandler delivers a “tour de force performance.”

Here’s what more critics had to say about the film, and Sandler’s turn as its central “f**cking crazy ass Jew,” as LaKeith Stanfield’s character puts it in one scene:

Hannah Woodhead, Little White Lies: “It’s a bruising, desperate anxiety attack of a film that rips the rug out from under you when you least expect it. And, because it really cannot be said enough: Adam Sandler is on the form of his life.”

Benjamin Lee, The Guardian: “My idea of Sandler and what he represents quickly faded once the film began.”

A.A. Dowd, AV Club: “It’s a performance as live-wire exciting as the one the Safdies got out of Robert Pattinson in Good Time. And the movie itself is exhilarating. Just bring a Xanax.”

Nate Adams, The Only Critic: “Uncut Gems is the equivalent of a cinematic anxiety attack taking its toll on your senses. Pop a couple aspirins, bring a reliable pair of ear plugs, and watch as Adam Sandler has just pushed himself into the crowded Oscar race.”
