Peele overdoses on "woke" storytelling

Rating: 6/10 (11 June 2019)

Like it or not, Peele is possibly one of the only auteurs of the 2010's. If anyone remembers, we use to get several per decade.
Now the former MADTV actor, and Bill Clinton Audience actor plant (1992) is too "woke" for ours and his own good. This effort was perhaps way too self-conscious, placating to 4 chan & 80s film buffs, rather than fluid story-telling. It's like he was working on a conspiracy comment section legacy first, putting the story at hand second. No doubt clever at times, It's merely a Twilight Zone episode stretched into a feature film. The last twist was completely unnecessary.
"Get Out" rose well above being a agenda-film-of-the-week, far exceeded expectations. This one gets old. AT least Peele didn't sell out just yet, by accepting the next remake or shared universe factory product, opting for rare original, modest budget theatrical films. Looking forward to his next films.
