Uncut Gems
This is how I win.
Directed by Josh Safdie, Benny Safdie

A relentless, anxiety-inducing character study of a compulsive gambler spiraling through debt and moral compromise in pursuit of one final score.
A charismatic New York City jeweler always on the lookout for the next big score makes a series of high-stakes bets that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. Howard must perform a precarious high-wire act, balancing business, family, and encroaching adversaries on all sides in his relentless pursuit of the ultimate win.
