ALL LIVES MATTER

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2019)

The movie is directed by, none other than, Jordan Peele, and stars ... Lupita Nyong'O, Winston Duke, as well as Elizabeth Moss.
PROS:
1. The direction: What else can I say other than it's terrific. I mean, the filming locations are astonishing, as is the way the whole thing is shot.
2. The acting: Having seen her in only two movies, the only I've actually seen Lupita Nyongo'O act in was Black Panther. That being said, this is film I've seen her truly shine in. I can't go into very much detail, to be honest. All I can say is that this is the best I've seen her be in.
3. The score: First word that comes to mind would be wow. I will admit, I love the gothic genre, I love it to death; if you got that joke, good for you.
CONS:
The writing: By now, you're probably thinking 'How dare you!? How dare you criticize the writing!? Jordan Peele won an Oscar for best original screenplay!' Here me out, upon watching the trailer for this movie, I thought to myself "Well, this does in no way look similar to The Strangers." But on top, I than thought, "You know what, I wanna go and see this." And surely enough, I did just that. And after which, I thought it was ... okay.
Here's the first act, 'This seems ... very weird,' here's the second, 'You're seriously going that direction?' And here's the third, 'Um ... okay.' Yeah, that should be saying a lot.
What I'm trying to say is that the second act was what truly aggravated me. You have this family who are blatantly the main focus of the film, and then you have this other family who are introduced in the first as (how do I put) a lot more self-indulgent. And if that doesn't sound aggravating enough, how 'bout this, they die. Yes, each and every member in that family gets killed by their own evil selves.
The reason this annoys me so much is because, and it should be obvious, the murder victims in the film are mostly Caucasian, including that one family. I mean, the way they are portrayed is as complete nimrods.
Last but not least, I got a Silent Hill vibe from the third act. I mean, come on, that's what the whole movie felt like, Silent Hill + The Strangers + The Purge.
All in all, while not scary per say, this film is undeniably entertaining. After all, the ending did make up for it, to me at least, and I do recommend it.
