Fantastic (although could have been longer)

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2017)

Get Out is an excellent movie packed with twists and suspense. I felt that the movie was very sophisticated and dealt with racism in a tasteful manner - it was not offensive nor did I feel that it made either whites or blacks out to be monsters.
Daniel Kaluuya played an excellent role, he portrayed much emotion and depth in his character, Chris. Alison Williams plays Rose and I loved her character, she played such a fantastic part and I really did believe she was completely innocent on the whole thing. I was so shocked and immediately hated her when I realised she was 'recruiting' suitable candidates. I was really hoping that she had been hypnotised to forget her past boyfriends and accidentally lured them into a trap! I could not believe that Bradley Whitford played the father, his transformation into this character was impressive. I enjoyed watching the mother too, she played the perfect role, especially with her husky voice, she reminded me of Kaa from Jungle Book. Every actor played their character perfectly, I especially loved Rod from TS mo f*cking A! The brother freaked me out but that just shows that they are playing their roles well.
Throughout the movie I was led to believe that the 'slaves' were hypnotised and that the trance could definitely be undone, but it was sad to see that they had a part of themselves removed and replaced with something else - meaning this, most likely, can never be undone. I felt that the movie was a little rushed towards the end and it definitely could have done with an extra 30 minutes or so... The movie was so complex yet so understandable but then sort of ended far too quickly for me. I wanted Chris to almost escape but then to be dragged back and put back into a trance, I wanted to feel frustrated, I wanted a bit more suspense towards the end, but it all seemed a little too predictable. I especially wanted a policeman to get out of his car and to arrest Chris and make it look like the policeman was part of this crazed family, or at least make Chris look like the bad guy in all of this, just to show what really does happen in the real world. This did not ruin the movie for me, however, the ending was left too open - will the other 'slaves' be saved? What happens to Chris? Will Rod be promoted in TS mo f*cking A? Will there be a sequel? Either way, I am looking forward to more from Jordan Peele, who brought out something so respectable, which will be talked about for a long time. Well done, 8 stars from me.
