Talented directing and production, poor writing

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2019)

The score, the acting and Peele's directing are definitely on display here, the camera work in some scenes was brilliant and the vision of the director is on display mostly in this movie and less so the writing which we saw in "Get Out". However it is in the plot and purely the writing of this story that Peele falls short. The dialogue is unrealistic and lazy at some points and the general nonchalance of the family in such a situation baffled me throughout, I understand comic relief but this took it too far. Also the plot was riddled with holes and vague explanations through Red's tiring monologues. It seems that with Peele some audiences are valuing hidden meanings and allusions over plot and that is a serious problem.
