Extraordinary

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2019)

Get Out was a landmark achievement from a first time director known primarily for sketch comedy. So I was concerned - even with a pitch perfect trailer - that Get Out could have been a fluke.
After watching Us, I can now confirm what I was hoping for: Jordan Peele's is the 21st Century Alfred Hitchcock. His direction is gorgeous, with clever breadcrumbs of foreshadowing. His writing is smart, fun, and thrilling all at once. Peele is a master of his craft, paying homage to other classics of the horror genre that inspired this latest social commentary.
And the cast is stellar - Lupita N'yongo is perfection leading a cast of greats.
I guarantee, this is a film we will talk about for years to come. The best thriller since A Quiet Place and truly fun and fresh.
