Laughably Bad

Rating: 3/10 (31 March 2019)

I don't think my husband and I saw the same movie that so many others are raving about. This "Us" isn't the least bit frightening or suspenseful. The setup is slow, characterizations are uneven, and you can drive a freight train through each of the myriad plot holes. I think I understand at least some of what Peele is trying to explore here (the good and bad, light and shadow, in all of us....but any version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" does a better job.) Go ahead and suspend disbelief; it won't help.
