Peele's mind is brilliant, but the movie is not

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2019)

I applaud Jordan Peele's writing and his amazing ability to symbolize, his depth for hidden meaning, and all around fresh creativity. His film Get Out was all around spectacular. The problem I feel with US, is that the movie itself was not that good. I found it to be frustrating and at times even boring. This just added to the already convoluted feel, and it makes it difficult to convey. When you feel compelled to go online to understand so much that you know you're missing, it kind of defeats the purpose of watching the film. I would like to watch it again, yet have little desire to at the same time because somehow it just isn't overly interesting. When you watch a breakdown of the film, it makes sense and is rather brilliant, but the actual movie somehow fell flat.
