Good performances let down by the rest of the film

Rating: 6/10 (21 February 2018)

An excellent performance by Daniel Kaluuya really carries this film far beyond where it should be. Allison Williams also deserves a mention.
Unfortunately, the rest of the film doesn't live up their standards.
A distinctly average script and similar direction from Jordan Peele really scuppers the film, yet it has somehow garnered numerous award nominations and raked in a whole load of money from a tiny budget, so we'll definitely be hearing at lot more from Jordan Peele.
It's one of those films that managed to get word of mouth right, but in the future it won't be regarded as well as it is now.
Hopefully next time the budget will allow for a decent script doctor to whip it into shape.
