i think this shows how both benny and josh are important to both the style of this and uncut gems.
the handheld film aproach is something benny has later brought in the smashing machine and both brothers have an eye for seeking out great composers and music artist to deliver wonderful scores that bang.
robert pattinson delivers a great performance, his character is so fucking dogshit as a human but you simply can't look away like he's a magnet.
some characters like connie's girlfriend and brother are kinda undeveloped as actual people but at least you get the general idea of what connie's girlfriend is like.
but each and every performance almost connects to the score and editing, seemlessly transforming it into something greater.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless, propulsive descent through the criminal margins of New York City, a night of escalating chaos and moral compromise driven by one man's desperate devotion to his brother. Visually frenetic and deeply uncomfortable in the best way.
