Honestly, I wasn't expecting an amazing film as I was already a bit disappointed with 'Get Out'. I believe that 'Us' offers an original premise and is very intriguing at the beginning. Technical aspects are great. Some shots are amazingly well executed with eerie score and beautiful cinematographic work.
Just like Tony Collette in Hereditary, Lupita Nyong'o is the heart and soul of a film that without a female lead, wouldn't even be worth watching. I believe that Jordan Peele really overcooked this film, creating an exaggerated story that didn't get anywhere.
He tried to repeat the 'Get Out' formula, but luck wasn't on his side this time. More importantly, he saturated the film with so many unnecessary symbolic references, that created massive confusion and discomfort. I'm not sure the film is worth watching twice, but I may give it another chance...
Score: 6.5/10
