Us Movie Review

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2019)

Hey Movie Lovers! Just saw "Us".
Storyline: America is terrorized by doppelgängers of the residents. In my opinion, the storyline seems intelligent and purposeful but it could not come off clearly to the audience. The audience is left guessing far too much and it takes away from the film.
Characters: This is not a character driven film, you do not form any emotional bonds with any of the characters. However that is the purpose of the thriller, for the characters to remain 2 dimensional while serving the thriller as three dimensional. However, the star cast nails it and I will be very disappointed if Lupita does not win all the oscars for her outstanding performance. 👏🏽
Production: The production value is very high, so nowhere does the set, costumes or surroundings overpower the main idea of the movie.
Final Thoughts: Let me be very clear and say that this movie is never boring and keeps you engaged throughout. It is a thriller so it keeps you guessing with a few great jump scares throughout. The climax and ending seem like unfinished thoughts with not enough for the audience to connect the pieces. You will leave this movie slightly confused but that's gonna make for some great after movie conversations and some great movie conspiracies.
