"Us": Grim Reminder that it could always be Worse...

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2019)

The Coen Brothers, Atom Egoyan, Shane Carruth and now Jordan Peele. This is my short list of favorite film directors ever.
Peele's latest deep and deliciously demented dive into modern society is "Us". There are many messages to be mined in this movie, all woven expertly into a decidedly disturbing yet darkly comic story.
My key takeaway? No matter how bad you think you may have it in life, there is an alternate path which would have led you to something far more unbearable. And, as Peele so ingeniously reveals both literally and figuratively in "Us", it's not that far, or that different, from hell.
