Didn't get into it

Rating: 6/10 (15 January 2020)

It's hard to know what to say about a movie like "Us". I just didn't get into it that much. I didn't feel like it had many effective moments or memorable sequences, unlike "Get Out". Who could forget the scene where Daniel Kaluuya is hypnotised?
The one problem I can put my finger on is I'm pretty sure the movie is too long. I think it needed to be tightened up a bit. Perhaps it would have been more shocking and frightening if the script was tighter.
The only thing that stood out about the movie for me was the actress Lupita Nyong'o, who is strikingly beautiful and plays the only doppelganger that talks. Her portrayal is pretty special.
