As for Uncut Gems, I hated it when I walked out of the theater but the film has grown on me over time. When I saw it for a second time, I liked it a lot more. The acting is first rate -- in addition to Sandler, Julia Fox and Eric Bogosian are great in this film and KG is pretty good too. The movie is super aggressive though, really in your face, and it is a tough film to watch because there really are no likable characters. It is not for everyone, that is for sure, but a segment of the viewing public will like it a lot, I suspect. I could see it becoming a quite popular flick on cable someday in the future.
