'Us' Movie Review
Jordan Peele has done it again. "Us" is absolutely mind blowing and I find myself loving this film the more I think about it.
Peele has a very unique talent for keeping the tension high through an entire film and giving you great comedic moments at the same time.
I will admit I saw all of the twists and turns coming as the film progressed and from what I saw in the trailers, but it didn't take away from how well this film was written and directed.
The lighting and sound design are the crown jewels of the film for me and they perfectly compliment everything you're seeing on screen.
Lupita Nyong’o does an incredible job in this film and she’s already one of my picks for the best performances of the year. Winston Duke does such a great job caring the humor in this film and Shahadi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex are amazing in this film as well.
Peele has proven that he is a master of the suspense/horror genre and I can't wait to see what project he does next.
Grade: 5/5
