Peele’s second film is a bolder artistic statement than Get Out, and one of the finest examples of untethered (forgive the pun) studio filmmaking. It’s part home invasion thriller, part body swap drama, part Ira Levin-esque psychological satire. From an early shot of caged rabbits, to the sight of a masked child scurrying about on all fours, to the potent image of a black woman in handcuffs, Us is an ambiguously ambitious chiller upon which audiences can project their deepest fears. Neck-deep in dense symbolism and metaphor, Us requires multiple viewings to simply be ingested - understanding it would perhaps require multiple more. Cast - Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan AlexĬuriously, despite being a more traditional horror picture, Us, writer-director Jordan Peele’s follow-up to the genre-fluid Get Out is an even more challenging experience.
