Back at the start of 2020 (you know, in the Before Times), A24 re-released
Uncut Gems with a new segment where the films directors, Josh and Benny Safdie, met up with Adam Sandler at a diner and took questions from various celebrities. In 2020, the Safdie Brothers are notable enough figures for Jason Bateman to know their names. But they didn't just appear out of the blue. They have been directing short films since 2005 and directed their first* feature film together with the 2009 production
Daddy Longlegs. Though a much scrappier affair than their pair of recent A24 directorial efforts,
Daddy Longlegs already carries a number of the defining traits of subsequent Safdie works.
