Brilliance but for a disappointing finish

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2019)

'Us' is great display of how tension and terror can be combined with laugh-out-loud comedy and how characters that are nightmarish and unnatural can be seamlessly intertwined with a normal family that are relatable and convincing. In these respects Peele has crafted a fine piece of cinema. This is achieved by, and coupled with great performances and sharp dialogue to make for a thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable film. It does however, lack completeness as the end of the film becomes a dense web of metaphors, unanswered questions and semi-satisfying resolutions.
