Uncut Gems streaming: Can I watch the FULL movie online? Is it legal?

Uncut Gems is a pretty divisive movie which clearly split the voting when it came to the Oscar nominations. Many have been furious with the perceived snub for Adam Sandler, while others believe his dramatic turn was not worthy of so many plaudits. Despite this, fans are still desperate to see Uncut Germs – but can you watch the movie online?

Can you watch Uncut Gems online and is it legal?

Uncut Gems will be available to watch on Netflix from January 31, therefore there is no need for fans desperate to find out more about the film to stream it illegally or via illegal sites.

Any other website claiming to have the film for streaming or download is illegal.

The Digital Economy Act 2017 means people could now face ten-year prison sentences for illegally streaming copyrighted content.

To be sure you’re not watching copyrighted material, you should go direct to companies such as Netflix or Amazon Prime, according to the Federation Against Copyright Theft) (FACT).

Adding further to these warnings CEO of FACT Kieron Sharp said: “There are now more ways than ever for consumers to watch movies and TV but not going to legitimate sources to watch new movies is not a grey area: it is against the law.

“As well as being illegal, evidence shows that streaming pirated content is incredibly risky and can expose users to malware and inappropriate content.

“Not only does that deny the best viewing experience, it’s just not worth taking the chance.”

It is simple enough to get a Netflix subscription, as the streaming service charges £5.99 a month for Standard Definition (SD) picture quality and the ability to watch on one device at a time.

This rises to a maximum of £11.99, which includes the ability to stream on four separate devices at the same time in pixel-packed 4K HDR quality.

Fans can easily go to Netflix.co.uk to sign up for their subscription or, if they already have one, they can easily log on and find Uncut Gems from January 31, when the film becomes available.

For now, the movie is in cinemas, and fans can try to get tickets to see it at their local before it comes out on Netflix on January 31.
