Freaky and funny and disturbing

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2019)

The freakiest,, funniest, disturbing horror film you're likely to see in a while. Extremely entertaining and well paced. This is perhaps a brilliant application of film as metaphor for a specific real or not so paranoid take on the American sense that millions await a better quality of life with a political change that will do away with any vestige of privilege, be it financial or citizenship or otherwise ...the choices of sound and score heighten the tension brilliantly. Lupita Nyong'o is awesome in her dual roles. Jordan Peele is a genius screenwriter and director with a unique sense of humor that is at times used in that Hitchcockian way...stretching moments when a character misreads situations and intents while the audience holds its breath. In this manner, Peele's films differ from the tenor of most Stephen King films, even in works as situationally absurd as this one is, asking viewers for a fair amount of suspension of belief. I am rather mystified by the tenor of many of these negative reviews on imdb in regard to this film, the majority seem unjustified to me, and want to add this second feature, Peele's first being Get Out, leaves me excited to see this extremely unique and exciting filmmaker's future works.
