Marty Supreme's Megawatt Personality

Josh Safdie's hectic new film Marty Supreme, set in 1952, mainly in New York, is, essentially, Uncut Gems but with a happy ending. That recklessly exuberant 2019 drama, which Safdie co-directed with his brother, Benny, stars Adam Sandler as a jewelry dealer in Manhattan and a compulsive gambler who takes thrilling risks to pay off his creditors and learns that the house always wins. With Marty SupremeSafdie's first feature directed without Benny since 2008the happy ending follows logically from a happy beginning, so to speak.
