A Dark, Intelligent Thriller

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2019)

I understand why some people gave this movie a low score, but I personally loved it. It's not a straightforward movie, and some parts are ambiguous-which was certainly done on purpose-so if you don't want to watch a movie where you really have to think about, this isn't for you. This movie is chock full of symbolism, mostly subtle, about marganilization and the people who are more or less forgotten or treated differently by society. This movie has gotten a lot of flack on here for having plot holes and a somewhat confusing ending, but if you read up on some of the symbolism Jordan Peele used, a lot of that starts to make more sense. Personally, the ending made sense to me though I didn't see it coming. I thought the gory scenes were well-done and not over the top like so many horror movies before it. Also, I know there was an outcry over how one of the characters speaks, but if you actually watch the movie it makes sense. Overall, I thorougly enjoyed this movie and it was kind of fun to discuss theories afterwards.
