To me it's ironic or at least silly that the Safdie brothers' second movie, Uncut Gems, is like an uncut gem compared to the perfect diamond of their earlier Good Time, which reached deep inside me and twisted a place I didn't even know I had.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
