Center
Primary
The film primarily focuses on the personal consequences of a character's self-destructive choices and compulsive gambling, rather than offering a political critique or solution to societal issues.
The movie features a diverse cast, with several prominent roles for minority actors, though these roles are not explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. The narrative focuses on the personal journey of its protagonist and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays the Jewish community and culture with significant nuance and depth, serving as a central backdrop to the protagonist's chaotic life. While the main character is deeply flawed, his personal failings are not attributed to his faith, and the film avoids negative stereotyping of the religion itself.
Uncut Gems does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on the protagonist's gambling addiction and chaotic personal life, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
