Not Impressed!

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2017)

First of all, "Get Out" is not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it wasn't the best either. I heard all these great things about it, and surprisingly it was really slow. Nothing major really happened until almost the end, although most of that was pretty predictable. I do appreciate the eerie feeling you get regarding the characters, which is so creepy that it keeps you wondering about what is really going on with these people.
Secondly, as a Black woman in an interracial relationship, I get exactly where Jordan Peele was going, and seeing as how he's also a Black man who's married to a White woman, I think a lot of people need to lighten up. The film was a satire, so it's not that serious. It's supposed to be full of stereotypes since he was poking fun at his own relationship, and the old Hollywood cliché about the fact that Black men never make it out alive, much less to the end of horror movies.
I don't need to rehash a lot of the plot, but I just couldn't get pass the whole "Stepford Wives with Black people instead of robotic clones" feeling I got while watching this movie. That's exactly what it reminded me of.
At any rate, I think it was a decent effort for a directorial debut, but definitely not all it's hyped up to be.
