One time I recommended Uncut Gems to a coworker, and she gave it a shot. She said it was the most bizarre film she had ever seen and it was completely contrary to her values.

I asked what she meant, she told me she thought Howard was going through a redemption arc.

She told me she felt weird for days after seeing it. I think she’s more used to watching creepy evangelical propaganda movies.
