If you loved Uncut Gems, try Heaven Knows What
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Heaven Knows What has roughly 28.3× fewer votes than Uncut Gems — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Benny Safdie, Josh Safdie, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Uncut Gems, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Heaven Knows What is
You wake on a New York sidewalk with a habit and a phone number scrawled on your palm. The dial tone answers before you do. Then the city starts calling in favors—overdue nods, small jobs, stray kindnesses. The Safdies frame the street’s unrelenting pulse as your only reliable narrator.
