Good
The score and soundtrack was incredible
Every piece of the film leading up to the doppelgÃ¤ngers arriving is set up for the rest of the movie
Performances all around for a very good jarring at times but with reason
The ending hit hard and made sense everything that they talk about or show you in this movie has meaning and pays off later in the film to a great degree
Movie is intelligently crafted by Jordan Peele with a very interesting subject matter that you care about all the way through the film
Every character choice and characteristic has a reason for later in the film
Every scene has meaning and purpose behind it
The ending of the movie elevates the rest of the film
Strong visuals throughout
Bad
Tone of film is inconsistent and didn't work at times
Jokes were fine until the doppelgÃ¤ngers arrive and they should've been abandoned for a more serious tone
Humor should have gone away from the impact of the severity of the scenes that we are seeing
Film didn't hit as hard as it could've
Some moments of the film don't know whether to laugh or to be taken seriously
