Peele Steps Backwards, Sadly

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2019)

Refreshingly original, superbly acted and not without its few dark chuckles along the way, Us has its moments but is otherwise a disappointment. It isn't scary, there is zero tension, the cinematography and lack of style leaves a gaping whole in the creative department, although the musical score is terrific. Don't believe the hype, Us is average, but stands as a showcase for the brilliance of the lovely Lupita Nyong'o and the always watchable Winston Duke.
