Got into Uncut Gems, The Report and Waves on Saturday...
My favorite film of the day turned out to be Uncut Gems...which shocks me a bit as I have never been a big Adam Sandler fan. But credit due....Sandler is great in the Safdie Brothers film.
The Report worked well enough for me. It's a sturdy and competently made reveal of how willing the U.S. was to torture in the wake of 9-11.
Waves is an earnest but overly long exploration of the potential destruction of a family.
