falls over once it starts explaining itself

Rating: 5/10 (15 April 2019)

I won't take long, just to say, I enjoyed the director's previous movie, Get Out, and was really excited to see this after watching the trailers.
I even enjoyed it up to a point, but once the explanation of the "tethered" started to come out, it just felt like the film unravelled due to an endless number of holes in that storyline (and that was just while I was watching). If I thought about it some more, I'd no doubt be able to come up with a tonne more; and there is the issue with "Us" - if a film is going to make you suspend disbelief, it can't have plot holes that literally slap you in the face repeatedly. It has to create a reality that you can buy in to; and for me "Us" just didn't, once it started explaining the "tethered" it lost that buy in.
I've seen people talking about it's social commentary etc and that's all well and good, but it just isn't able to execute a very flawed plot explanation.
