It IS worth the hype.

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2019)

If you're someone who has seen the massive online presence for this film and you're contemplating seeing it - do it. Regardless of your typical movie genre choice when you head to the theater, 'Us,' is worth the watch.
Don't walk in expecting horror- this is not a horror film. Do not let the nerve of potentially getting freaked out in the theater swerve you away. This film is very, very much a psychological thriller, and it slays in that category.
As with Jordan Peele's last hit, 'Get Out,' nothing is clear cut. Almost everything alludes to something more, and this entire movie is loaded with wild metaphors. This is one of those films you can (and should) watch multiple times to pick up pieces you've previously missed.
All in all, I highly recommend this film. Go in open minded and with the least amount of expectations you can, and dont take ANYTHING at face value. Let this piece speak for itself. I promise, it is worth the hype.
