Not the Best

Rating: 6/10 (23 March 2019)

To put my review into perspective, it took me 3 viewings of Get Out before I really started to appreciate it. I can't say that I love it, but I think I get it, and I recognize that there's a lot of intelligence behind it. Of course, I wanted to like Us, but I can't say that I did. Like Get Out, the premise is a little too random and high concept. I would probably get more out of it if I see it again, which I wouldn't object to at some point. Without a doubt, Jordan Peele is a very talented filmmaker but I just didn't connect with this one. Nevertheless, I give it 6 out of 10, because it was well executed. As I was leaving the theater, I asked a woman what she thought and she said, "It was lame." That might be a bit harsh, but I understood her dissatisfaction.
