Go with an open mind; create your own interpretation

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2019)

I left the theater thinking, "Huh, that wasn't what I expected." And that's because I had the unfortunate experience of listening to my morning radio show personalities provide their take on the movie beforehand. Bottom line:. This movie is artist at heart, and a thinker, rather than your simple, entertaining horror flick. If you expect a clear cut horror movie with racial lessons, as Jordan Peele did with his "Get Out," you'll be disappointed. I feel this speaks to Peele's bountiful creativity... he didn't recreate what he's already done. Go into the movie with no one else's interpretation. The people I've discussed it with took different messages away... I will share that initially leaving the theater I was irritated by not being simply entertained, but by the following morning I was enjoying ruminating on the story and piecing together my interpretation - which was totally different from my radio DJ's! I will agree with some reviewers that Mr. Peele packed too much into the movie, but overall, I enjoyed it, would like to see it again, and recommend it if you are someone who can appreciate an artist scary movie requiring thoughtfulness, and that's fun to discuss with friends.
