A modern masterpiece. Jordan Peele has put a piece of art before us.

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2019)

After watching Get Out, I was skeptical about Us due to the soaring success Peele had with his previous film. (If you haven't seen it yet, it's seriously worth watching.) Anyway, I watched Us last night and I was amazed. From the plot to the camera work and every single thing in between was directed and executed with such perfection, it allows the consumer to feel the atmosphere and emotion flowing through the scene. The soundtrack worked perfectly with each scene. I particularly like the way 'I got 5 on it' was used multiple times throughout the film. (Spoiler) The end of the film, we see Red and Adeline final fight with one another. During this scene, there are flashbacks to both of them dancing, this works beautifully with the idea of the clones mimicking their 'original' copy, as whiles they are fighting, they both know what the next move isn't going to be which makes the entire scene so intense. Without saying much else, the two fighting one another with the 'memories' of them both dancing gives the scene so much emotion. Fast forward to the plot twist- which I will not spoil- it explains so much and you begin to understand why certain things were said and done between the two women.
Overall, a solid 10/10, I can not wait for Peele's next film as he is a fantastic director with an amazing range of diversity.
