The complexity and messages took away from the fun

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2019)

When I go on a roller coaster, I want to sit back and enjoy the ride, not have to listen to how/why/where it was made, specs, and other 'who cares' details.
This film was just that. I'm a huge fan of Peele, and his directing and cinematography were perfect, but the story for this and his first film are so unnecessarily over-complicated, they take away from the drama/horror to the point of ridiculousness. The conflicted territory of class, race and privilege is convoluted with too many ideas and not enough answers e.g. why the rabbits?
Nevertheless, an interesting film, not as enjoyable as it should've been. I wouldn't see it again. Only a 6/10 from me.
Please bring back Key & Peele - the best writing, directing and comedy series that puts SNL to shame
