Have you been stalking me?'" The result is a meta-performance, a marriage of Fox's past with the Safdie's frantic impulses that's garnering awards season buzz and landed the actress a Breakthrough Actor nomination at the Gotham Awards.
"At the time I was dating a rich older man and we were together for five years, so I was kind of known for that." By the time Fox got her hands on the final script, she was the only option for the role. "I think they had already known that Howard was gonna have a mistress, but then when Josh met me he was like, it has to be her," Fox, whose past incarnations include artist and fashion designer, tells. Uncut Gems is based on the time the Safdies' father spent working in New York's Diamond District, but the role of Julia was written for Fox. And it's Julia who ultimately emerges as the last player standing as the film winds to a jerky close Howard dispatches her to place a bet on a Garnett game with his latest profit, a wager that leaves Howard with a bullet in his head and Julia absconding with the winnings. In a moment so pathetic it circles all the way back to endearing, Julia unveils a new tattoo for Howard in an effort to cheer him up after a gamble goes bad. She's flawed, for sure-a pivotal scene in Uncut Gems sees her publicly brawling with Howard over a chance encounter with The Weeknd in a club bathroom-but Julia is compassionate and loyal to a fault. His Howard Ratner can't stop placing bets with the money he owes other people and cheating on his wife (Idina Menzel) when his rare, uncut opal attracts the interest of the Celtics' Kevin Garnett, money changes hands faster than Howard can register the dollar signs, and he sinks further into debt in pursuit of the next, bigger bet.īut as Howard concocts scheme after asinine scheme to make more money off his next cash influx, it's his mistress, Julia, played by magnetic newcomer Julia Fox, who emerges as the film's unexpected hero. Their latest, the 10-years-in-the-making Uncut Gems, is a raucous journey through the gambling addiction of a Diamond District jeweler played by Adam Sandler.

Directors Josh and Benny Safdie have built a career on cultivated chaos, crafting characters so addicted to self-sabotage, their decisions elicit audible dissent from a packed movie theater.
