As of now, this is the last film directed by Josh and Benny Safdie as a duo, following a string of acclaimed independent successes including Daddy Longlegs, Heaven Knows What, and Good Time. This fall the brothers are releasing their solo debuts, Benny with The Smashing Machine featuring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, and Josh with Marty Supreme starring Timothée Chalamet.

Their most acclaimed film to date features Adam Sandler in a career-redefining role as a charismatic New York City jeweler always on the lookout for the next big score, as he 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.

Screening September 20 + 29

“This method does more than suggest the Safdies’ taste for elaborate antics, it suggests a sense of life that underpins it: it reflects their awareness that what takes place in the world is often absurd, incredible, filled with the sort of astonishing twists that people say they would never believe if they saw them in a movie—and much of that absurdity is painful, sad, and monstrous.” ~ Richard Brody, New Yorker
