Turned it off after 45 minutes

Sandler and the Studio behind this "gem" really pushed the marketing to the Academy voters but the movie itself is lagging in many areas. It also proposes an underworld where crappy music stars can also play common characters (a la The Weeknd) but we know that as an audience we're suppose to buy the acting part, but I didn't.

You have to watch it until the end. I agree that it is boring and annoying at the beginning. But we cannot judge about a movie until we watch it completely.

Well, while this thread has certainly discouraged me, however right now to rent it on iTunes it’s only a buck, so I’ll give it a go.

I’ll be back to tell y’all if I quit on it too or stuck it out to the end.

7.5/10 for this movie is too high a rating. Punch Drunk Love still remains as Adam Sandler's best dramatic work IMO.

I did not like Uncut Gems but the last 20 minutes were the most exciting part of the whole movie, there was a level of suspense that made it feel unpredictable, when everything finally began going right for the main character... but the ending was sort of a letdown since the antagonist's final action made no sense.

6/10.

I agree with a lot of other people here, though perhaps not so judgmentally: I think anybody reviewing movies should watch them the whole way through.

I assumed that critic walkouts would happen a bunch, but I remember hearing somewhere that Gene Siskel only walked out of something like three movies (Maniac, Black Sheep, and The Million Dollar Duck). I respect him for that. Being willing to see his job through even when it bored or agonized him showed a strong work ethic and character.

I suppose you could write a review like, "This movie was so boring I walked out after 45 minutes," but if that becomes your reputation (if you don't like it you switch it off) I'm not sure I, as a reader, would stick with your blog for too long (even with Oscar predictions that Nostradamus would envy). If I don't feel like you're taking in the full movie, I would lose confidence that I'll get to hear a nuanced and insightful review every time I click on your site.

If that's the way you want to play the game, more power to you. If you get a readership - great: you do you. But if you want the feedback, I'd say finish as many films as you can before blogging about them.

Sounds to me like you wasted 46 minutes. The extra one minute was you making the conscious decision to waste the other 45.

"As an Oscar blogger"....LOL

That's like going to a Youtube channel and hearing someone refer to themselves as "as someone who works in The Media"
