2019 / 134min / 35mm
Adam Sandler gives a career-best performance as Howard Ratner, a fast-talking jeweler in Manhattan’s Diamond District with a penchant for living on the edge and well beyond his means, in the Safdies’ hectic, often hilarious thriller. When debt-saddled Howie makes a series of high-stakes parlay bets on Kevin Garnett’s play in the 2012 NBA playoffs, gambles that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime, he has to undertake a precarious high-wire act, attempting to keep things square with his business, with wife Idina Menzel, and with mistress Julia Fox, all while increasingly irate loan sharks circle ever-closer, in relentless pursuit of the ultimate win.
“Adam Sandler's best role, the Safdie brothers' finest film. For me, this is one of the films that sublimates New York City in its most singular way. Its lights and neon’s inspired Emilia Perez's lighting, especially for the market scene.” —Jacques Audiard
