Uncut Gems (2019)

Adam Sandler (strike one) is Howie, the owner of a jewelry store like no other jewelry store I've ever seen... it seemed to be some kind of invitation-only deal with freelancers procuring buyers. Howie gets a rare opal, which NBA's Kevin Garnett sees and has to have, which starts a whole big mess because the gem is set to be auctioned. Howie's wife hates him, but that's OK because one of his salespeople loves him. He's got a gambling problem, he's in debt to a brother-in-law, he can't get hold of the guy who brought in KG and... it was honestly exhausting. Sandler doesn't ruin anything, but the movie itself is just grimy. 

It almost redeemed itself in the final act.
