A step back for Peele.

Rating: 5/10 (4 April 2019)

No doubt the title of Us is a thin wordplay on the abbreviation U.S., and at one point a character even states "We're Americans." Thus by the transitive property, We are Us, Us is U.S., U.S. is America, America are We.
Jordan Peele follows up Get Out with another whole movie. Peele seems to think that a raspy voice is scary (it's not), that being frightened and laughing should happen, even coterminously, within the same scene (they shouldn't), and that rabbits are a metaphor for something I never figured out (I didn't).
In our local music scene, we have the phrase "GGBB," which stands for "Good Guys (and Gals), Bad Band." Us offers up the movie parallel that phrase needs, "GGBM." The acting is good (despite raspy throating), the editing is good (despite the requisite jump-cuts), and the soundtrack is good. The plot, which feels like one of those plots you need to do some outside research to really, you know, get, falls apart from the get-go, progresses as if though separate ideas had been stapled together, and ultimately releases us onto a final scene which reels the mind, all across America.
Boardwalks and funhouses, beaches and boats, fireplaces and pokers, and matches and fires: it all adds up to some remorse for the buyers.
