One of the best, most original movies I've seen in years. Thrilling, creepy, hilarious--not necessarily in that order. I'll be thinking about this movie for days, so many many intricate layers.

This is one of the best suspense-thrillers of the last decade. Period. A superb cast, excellent direction and story, with plenty of twists and a supporting cast that fills out the corners. Funny when it needs to be, and creepy, crawly and get under your skin for the rest. Jordan Peele has knocked it out of the park with his first directorial effort. Can't want to see what he has planned next!… Expand

My review will contain not really spoilers, but a take on the film that COULD shed some light on what happens in the movie. 1st. If you think This movie is about race baiting, racesploitation, then you fell victim to the true meaning behindMy review will contain not really spoilers, but a take on the film that COULD shed some light on what happens in the movie. 1st. If you think This movie is about race baiting, racesploitation, then you fell victim to the true meaning behind the film. Basically **** happens in this movie, and it's **** up, as it is in EVERY Horror/Thriller. Texas Chainsaw, Hostel, etc. **** up **** happens in those movies, and some **** up **** happens in this movie. The MAIN point of this movie is this: At the end, when he calls 911... You know it won't help him, and when the emergency lights show up... Unlike EVERY movie where this means the protagonist(s) is/are safe... it doesn't mean the protagonist in this movie is safe, it means he is screwed... Think about that... As the viewer, you think "Ohh **** the cops showed up! He's ****" That's not the way people think in most movies, we think "YAY! The protagonist is safe!"... Not in this, and that's our OWN rationale reaching for that conclusion. Also, The underlining motivations behind the evil characters is NOT racist. We assume it is, and that's on us. SPOILER!

When the daughter says "grandma" and "Get him Grandpa" That shows they CHOSE the bodies they liked the most, and race didn't play a part. We assumed they "enslaved" the nanny, and the grounds keeper, but they are not. The whole point of this movie was to provide cheap thrills, as any movie in this class does, AND to demonstrate how people see race as motivations behind things. WE see it, my friends who are Black/Asian/First Nations/White saw racism when there wasn't any, and then WE saw the Whole Black-lives matter movement summed up at the end where the cops don't necessarily mean he's safe...

**** Brilliant.… Expand

Related media: I am not aware of any. >
What's it like?: (All in trailer!) Caucasian girl invites African American boyfriend to see her parents in the suburbs for the first time, but everything feels weird from the beginning, including the closet-racist parents, robot-like maid and groundsman (both African American), etc. In the end, the two of them need to 'Get Out' of that suburb. It's a weird, shocking and surprising thriller that puts a new spin on race relations in the US.

Pros:
>
1. The film gives a weird vibe from the very beginning to the very end, making me tense the whole time.
>
2. There are many shocking and surprising instances that made me jump out of my seat! They are intelligent thrills not cheap ones.
>
3. The film reminds the viewers of the race relations in the US, that despite the prohibition of slavery in the 1860s and the Civil Rights Act of the 1960s, still create uneasiness among Americans. It then goes further to suggest that nothing has really changed.
>
Cons: >
1. There is the usual cliche of people not moving fast enough to Get Out! Why are some people so complacent despite them being smart people and with all the warnings available? Ha ha...
>
2. There are some medical procedures portrayed that should not be feasible at this time. The author has taken this film into science fiction territory, when he need not do so.
>
3. What had happened to the maid and the groundsman doesn't make sense. Why choose them for that purpose? >
How would the different age groups rate it?
Children: (The film is not rated for them.)
Teenagers: For those who can see this R-rated film, it’s an Excellent. Young adults: Excellent
Medium age adults: Excellent
Old adults: Excellent
My rating: 5/5 (no half scores). Pay to watch it in the cinema and then buy the DVD.… Expand

I went into this movie with no expectations because I didn't want to be disappointed due to the overwhelming hype surrounding the movie. Get Out for me wasn't a horror flick but a psychological thriller shrouded in social commentary about the perceptions and stereotypes people of different races have of each other. Some may find the beginning of this movie to be rather slow because it focuses on character development which for me was a good thing. I found the pace of the movie seemed to flow from scene to scene and I was never bored. I thought every character in the movie held their own and gave great and believable performance particularly the lead actor (Daniel Kaluuya)who played Chris. I felt the lead actor and his co-star(Allison Williams)who played Rose Armitage his girlfriend had a natural chemistry which, drew me into their characters. I loved Chri friend played by comedian(LilRel Howery)who starred as Rod Williams the TSA Agent, who provided the comic relief to the movie. Rose's parents Missy and Dean were odd none to say the lease and added to the thrill of the movie along with the two black employees who were just strange. The other character I won't name only added to the strangeness of the story which was fun to watch. Now I don't understand how the user rating on this site aren't higher but, I can only suspect that either those people, who gave the movie anywhere from a 0 to a 3 didn't watch the movie and are planting fake reviews or they are alt-right Trump supporters with an agenda. Any time you write a review with details that have nothing to do with the story line and then throw in some political B.S to cap off your review you're full of "bleep." Now, I will say that those who genuinely didn't take to the movie felt the movie was either predictable, too slow, or had an issue with the end of the movie. Those reviews I can understand but I can't get behind some of the fake reviews that were created to out of spite just to lower the movies overall high score and positive user movie reviews. There are commenters on this site with a shady political agenda and that's unfortunate but don't allow those comments to detour you from seeing this absolutely fun and engaging film. I'm giving this movie a 10. So if you have the time and some spare cash grab a friend and go see Get Out.… Expand

Jordan Peele's first outing as a writer (co-writer, actually) on a major Hollywood production brought us the 2016 action-comedy "Keanu", a movie that was much better than it had any right to be given its absurd premise. Now, not only writingJordan Peele's first outing as a writer (co-writer, actually) on a major Hollywood production brought us the 2016 action-comedy "Keanu", a movie that was much better than it had any right to be given its absurd premise. Now, not only writing solo, Peele finds himself in the director's chair with "Get Out", a film that hundreds or even thousands of aspiring directors and screenwriters would kill to have as their first. Promised a race-savvy mix of comedy and horror going in, I can say first-hand that this movie does not disappoint. Peele has truly achieved something great here.

For those of you who haven't seen the trailers or have no friends who have gone to see it already (I would recommend moving out from under the rock beneath which you reside, in either circumstance), allow me to bring you up to speed with the rest of the viewing world. Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya) is preparing for the milestone of all milestones in dating: meeting the parents of his girlfriend Rose Armitage (Allison Williams), Missy and Dean (Catherine Keener and Bradley Whitford, respectively). Now, this would be stressful enough as is, but the fact that Chris is black and Rose is white makes things even worse in the mind of the former. She implores him not to worry--Dean would have voted for Obama a third time if he could have, Chris (and the audience) are informed--but once they arrive, things take a turn away from the usual nervous, eager-to-impress overreactions into situations that are increasingly absurd and disturbing in equal measure. The growth in the number of older white people interested in him (Stephen Root), the strange behavior of the only other black people on the property (Betty Gabriel, Marcus Henderson, LaKeith Stanfield), and a seeming universally mutual desire to keep him cut off from his friends in the outside world (Lil Rey Howery) all lead Chris to believe that he has been brought to the Armitages' remote lake house for different purposes entirely (I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that yes, he has).

This could easily have been another forgettable, run-of-the-mill horror thriller that pits blacks against whites in the name of some cheap thrills and big box office returns. Luckily for Peele, he demonstrates immense skill as a writer, employing a sort of "less is more" strategy and simply putting together the pieces that he has assembled into a structure that audiences will understand as it is but contains other, more subtle ideas and meanings for them to discover with the use of a little brainpower. He's also careful not to give away too much too fast (as many others in the genre often do), and as the film first creeps and then full-on sprints towards its unbelievable conclusion, a twist better than any seen in horror in the last two decades--better even than the one in "Don't Breathe", or the hokey but effective 'the killer was the corpse in the bathroom' bit from "Saw"--is likely to have you on the edge of your seat, scared out of your wits but practically begging for more. Additionally, Peele works the horror-comedy angle effectively to provide much-needed comic relief when things start getting too serious, and the pitch-black humor thrown into some scenes (one that comes to mind is a time towards the beginning when, after learning of a car accident Chris and Rose were in because of a deer, Dean comments that he wants to "kill them all" because there are "just too many of them", unsettling his daughter's boyfriend) makes them all the sweeter for their unmatchable comic timing perfected on "Key and Peele". Perhaps best of all is--and hold on to your hats for this one, people--there is some real depth and complexity of character here beyond what is immediately obvious (*chorus of shocked gasps*). The white people in the film are not socially backwards, ultra-violent neo-Nazis. They are upper-middle class liberals, and they do what they do not because they hate blacks but, in a bit of a surprise reversal, because they adore them. As one character puts it, "Black is in style."

It's great to me that Peele had such an amazing collection of talent, both in front of the camera and behind it, working to help his vision become what it was truly meant to be. The score by Michael Abels in particular stands out to me for its successful return of abrupt, screeching violin to horror movie soundtracks for the purposes of suspense creation (I could've sworn I was watching a John Carpenter film), and classic songs like "Run Rabbit Run" are used to hilariously frightening effect. Kaluuya is likable and even fascinating in some bits as the protagonist, Whitford is so friendly and charming as Dean that you hope and pray he doesn't turn out evil, and while I can't say too much without some major spoilers, Williams is effective in unexpected ways as Rose. The end result is utterly immaculate, and deservedly so.

I have only two things left to say. "Bravo!" is one. "More, please!" is the other. 10/10… Expand

After you watch it, go to BuzzFeed for the 22 things you probably missed. The film is loaded with symbolism, most of which I DID miss.

Its themes on racism are good, but I find that the themes of morality and immortality even more fascinating. What the villain(s) do is undeniably ungodly, but is it even racist? I won't go into spoilers, but this movie raises a lot of interesting questions. Can something be racist and not racist at the same time? What the villain(s) do of course is horrible, but their reasoning, though still morally wrong, can be interpreted as both racist and not racist at the same time! You can argue that them going after black people specifically is racist, but another person can argue that it's in a weird way, admiring black people... just in the most evil way possible.

I will first agree that as a white male, no matter how poor I grew up there is a lot of privilege and safety in who I was born as. I haven't had to walk in the shoes of a minority like that so my view on this is of course from the outside.

I don't understand how its determined a comedy/horror movie. There were a couple of amusing parts but the whole thing reads like a horror movie, a very well written, well directed, well acted horror movie.

The movie itself is a slow build up from the beginning. The actual action of the movie only starts towards the end, but Peele's story keeps you enthralled anyways. I really found myself liking the main character Chris and I was rooting for him the whole movie. His girlfriend Rosie wasn't my favorite as a character, but the actress did great herself it was just the character I didn't like.

The hero of the movie to me though was Rod. He was pretty funny, and maybe that is why they call it a comedy, but I found he stole the show for me.

The trailers are pretty straight forward with the story, but you will still enjoy it and there are still surprises. By the end of the movie I didn't trust white people and I pretty much embarrassed to be white by the end, although in full disclosure I don't really trust white people anyways and am embarrassed by them regularly, but that is beside the point.

I can't recommend it enough that people should see this movie.

The good: I was impressed with how much the story stuck with me. It was full of great acting, directing and writing and I would be happy to pay theater prices again to see more of Peele's stuff if he does this type of horror again.

The bad: Nothing bad that I could point to.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most here providing negative or low scored reviews because they believe it’s racist against whites or feel it is or isn’t a comedy, are not versed on the history of America nor black culture beyond rap. The horror is aimed more at black people because this is a deeply rooted fear. Whites have taken or tried to take everything...now they come for the only thing black people have left. Their bodies. It draws upon influences from history in RL, such as Emmett Till and the horrific and controversial nature of his death, and also the belief that physically Black people are superior. Also the mistrust of white people that has been bred into blacks, and the reverse, speaks to racial disharmony, even within this very thread. Also speaks to further ignorance people have of each other and situations. One person here didn’t understand the movie, so so they believed the success had to do with the lead actor being black, another believed there is a reverse racism. Neither of those is true. The very definition of racism makes it impossible for such a thing for reverse racism to exist. The word you’re looking for is prejudice. But not so here either. This is simply a writer who was able to exploit a fear, of a community of people, who happen to not be white. The critical acclaim comes from the fact that these fears have never been on display so openly before.
That is why very few if any black people found this movie funny, but did find it horrific, even though fictional.
If you didn’t get the gist of the movie, I urge you to research Emmitt Till, George Stinney, Black WallStreet and History Channels Bio On Lynchings and then watch this again, imagining what it’s like to grow up with that knowledge in your head and what would make you afraid we’re you that person on screen. Not you, sitting at home in you white skin. Would you watch this movie and think, that could never happen, laughing, or think oh god...what if they did try this...what if they did try?!
If you are he’ll bent on believing white men and women are being subjugated and you don’t want to believe otherwise, then skip the research and go watch another movie. You don’t want to get it, and no one is forcing you to.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie had me on the edge of my seat yelling GET OUTTT!!. The play on stereotypes made for a very interesting, hilarious, and bloody tale. However, as I sat there watching in shock I began to predict small minded people of all cultures taking this film seriously. The writers fictional play on sinister whites abducting and victimizing naive blacks (for money by the way) by taking their stereotypical "genetic assets" and using them for themselves was outright insane. Clearly these scenes hit the psyche and pulled the peculiar workings of slavery out of the viewers consciousness. It was entertaining, dark, and comedic, although I am sure someone left feeling offended while others left believing these things are actually possible. I was thoroughly entertained and satisfied to watch a good film created by blacks that did not resort to the usual hood story. I was thinking Alfred Hitchcock weird the whole time. It went bloody and over the top at the end but that's horror for you. I have not witnessed a creepier movie family since Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Rose had me terrified at the end, she played a cold blooded psychopath quite well.… Expand

The movie is full of subtle hints at every turn of the corner that rewards careful viewers while not being wasted on the general audience. Although it may fall pray to slowness at times, the use of classic staples of filmography like sound design, setting, and ambience really never pull you out of the world, even if the action doesn't start until over halfway into the movie. The suspense is extremely well done, and the ending is incredible. If you think the "racism" is too strong or whatever, I hate to be that guy, but Get Out. The movie drives home its themes and points perfectly, and its refreshing to see a horror movie with a message behind it in an age of cut and dry slashers. Absolutely insanely good movie from filmography, story, tone, message, acting, you name it, it's got it. Very overt product placement from Samsung though.… Expand

A masterpiece all over, and can you believe this came from JORDAN PEELE from the Key and Peele show? The best thing about this film is that it doesn't focus on the scares much. Sure, the scares come and when they do they're great. In fact, it could be a brilliant thriller film if it wanted to. It's not one of those movies which have way too many scares, with no focus being put upon the storytelling. The pace of the movie is really fast, which is good as in some horror films you feel like they focus more upon the setup and just deliver jump scares at the end. The performances are really good. Daniel Kaluuya is brilliant in the film. Just watch that scene where he first goes into the Sunken Place, excellent acting. I think Allison Williams goes really under the radar as she also gives a good performance. The screenplay and score was outstanding building that feeling of dread and realization that he couldn't get out of the place but was just stuck here. The story is fabulous with so many inventive and creative things making twists all the time. The final act is great, right when you understand everything on one go in that TV conversation scene. There's no wonder that this film won Best Original Screenplay at the oscars… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Get Out is a very clever, smart and effective horror movie. The writing and directing are superb and manage to deliver a movie with some interesting racial undertones. Peele actually uses these undertones to complement the horror in this movie and try to work around the obvious cliches and stereotypes that are present from the very beginning. The acting supplements this beautifully by leaving no ambiguity regarding those stereotypes and cliches and creates really interesting characters and relationships and interactions between those characters. It also creates some genuinely really funny moments which are perfectly placed juxtapositions to the freakiness and unease that dominates so much of this movie. That is actually one of the things I like most about this movie; it’s horror, but not in the conventional sense. This film doesn’t rely on jump scares whatsoever and more focuses on being smart and crafting a really unique and interesting story. This movie has some really freaky and uncomfortable moments and interactions that give viewers so much unease and anxiety regarding what will happen next. Get Out has great intellectual and social horror within it and the acting gives that so much depth and makes it even freakier. The characters in the movie do some really smart stuff which is a testament to the writing and directing and helps some scenes to be really engaging and clever. The film flows very smoothly and there are no disruptive or awkward moments that hurt the quality of the scenes. It makes a lot of sense and doesn’t rely on paranormal, supernatural or fantasy stuff to be unsettling or further along the plot, making this movie very different from other horror movies such as the Insidious and Conjuring franchises. Get Out is also an academic movie. If you’re studying film in college, grad school or just as a career, you’ll recognize concepts regarding spectatorship in some scenes of the movie. Thus, Get Out is capable of reaching audiences in a way a lot of other horror movies aren’t and don’t, making it truly unique as a work of art. It’s not often that I can say that a horror flick is academic and contains college level concepts in it, and I’m thankful that I can do it with this one. The movie doesn’t leave out the “ah-ha” moments of clarification, and makes them creative on their own by having certain things become clear and culminate. The end is nice and has a really funny moment in it that helps to perfectly wrap up the movie. Overall, Get Out is a fantastic movie and is a must-see for horror fans due to how unique and thought-provoking it is.… Expand

If Daniel Kaluuya does not get on Oscar for hisJordan Peele's directorial debut?! A work this polished and well-executed is something many directors who have been in the game for years fail to achieve. The performances are incredible. If Daniel Kaluuya does not get on Oscar for his performance here then something has gone horribly wrong. His performance as a guy who is just trying to make the best of an awkward scenario, but slowly losing his ability to as things get progressively stranger is nothing short of absolutely believable. The rest of the cast is game as well. They're manipulation and bizarre behavior set you on edge in ways few other movies can. The scenes are lovingly crafted and the choice in music that accompanies them is spot on.

It's the originality that ultimately wins the day. First time director Peele toys with your expectations in interesting ways. He's done so since before the movie even came out. The social-commentary in regards to racial tensions is something that stirred up a lot of controversy. There are people who won't even give the movie a shot as a result. Their loss. The satire not only shines light on some significant social issues, but is excellently weaved into the plot as a reason to make the main character uncomfortable with meeting his girlfriend's parents in the first place. Needless to day, partially because so many others have said it, it's not racist. Not some middle finger to white people or anything like that. But, whatever. Not gonna bother talking about it any further. People have already made up their minds on what they think this is about.

If the movie has one flaw it's that you can kind of pick out the twists before they happen. Don't get me wrong, there are still surprises in store. It's just that the big reveal as to why exactly all of this is happening is evident right before it is revealed. It was too well telegraphed to not become immediately obvious. Then there's the bit that has to do with a significant character to the plot. It was obvious what was going to happen there from the trailers. Still, plenty of weirdness and questions you'll find yourself asking (which will get answered).

The movie is essentially an awkward introduction to being introduced to the parents of a significant other. The difference from this and, say, the Ben Stiller comedy "Meet the Parents" is the horror angle. Instead of increasingly upping the humor, Get Out ups the mystery, tension, and uncomfortable nature of the events. Speaking of the humor, it's worth noting just how surprisingly funny the movie is. Most of it comes from Lil Rel Howery, the main character's best friend. He serves as the comic relief and is given some absolutely hilarious lines that are well acted. Simply put, Get Out is one heck of a horror-comedy and a stunning directorial debut from Jordan Peele. I can't get over how talented the cast is, the unique and well-shot scenes, the clever ways it plays with expectations, and just all around uniqueness. Get Out proves to be a standout in the ever crowded horror genre. It's rare these days to see a movie in this genre so well made. It's becoming more common, but still far too infrequent. The movie is simply a breath of fresh air and a clear contender for best movie of the year.

Peele manages to hinge the film on not one reveal, but multiple, which teases the fun out over the run time of the film. The only thing that keeps me from giving Get Out a "10" is that once the reveals are done with, the movie began to drag for me. This encompasses the last 15 minutes, or so, of the film.… Expand

Besides maybe The Babadook's portrayal of mental illness. The film is just so energetic and does such a marvelous job of building up suspense, drama and raw tension that really just leaves u nervous and anxious throughout the course of the film. The film is not supernatural **** jump-scary, it's more so, a rapid frantic and high kinetic descent into madness, and absolute mayhem as the plot progresses. The film IS F**KING CRAZY at times, the actual resolution, and the actual situation our character gets himself in is just awful, and it just gets much worse as the flick goes on. I loved it. The actual social commentary the flick presents is also very fresh and interesting angle on social issues surrounding racism, that I personally found rewarding and interesting. It's a flick that is bold, and social relievent that has an important tale to tell. I like to think of "get out" more so like Lynchian, twilight zone esc show or movie. Kinda surreal, kinda spooky, but absolutely marvelous, interesting and highly philosophical and conceptual. Any issues I had generally tend to be around possibly the flick not being long enough.

Am besten fand ich allerdings den Humor des Films. Im Kinosaal wurde öfter gelacht als in mancher Komödie. Was ich auch für Erwähnenswert halte, ist die Tatsache, dass der Film sehr lange braucht um wirklich Fahrt aufzunehmen.
Was mich allerdings wirklich gestört hat, ist die Tatsache, dass der Trailer schon viel zu viel von der Story zeigt und jetzt wo ich den Film gesehen habe, habe ich mir den Trailer noch mal angesehen. Leider zeigt der Trailer sogar schon den Plottwist. Das ist ne Sache, die geht meiner Meinung nach gar nicht. Gut, dass mir das damals als ich den Trailer sah nicht aufgefallen ist.
Dennoch alles in allem ein sehr guter Film bei dem sich der Gang ins Kino wirklich gelohnt hat.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a film, unlike anything we've seen in recent memory. First time director and skit comedy legend Jordan Peele delivers a thrilling, suspenseful, and thought-provoking piece of artwork for his debut film. Whether it is the soulful moody music of Donald Glover's Redbone that help set the scene, to the emblematic awkwardness of meeting your significant other's parents for the first time. This artwork explores how our most vulnerable past experiences have shaped who we are, how cultural disconnect in race can make even the simplest of interactions more complicated than needed. But most importantly how we view black in America. This film challenges you to think about what your sunken place is because it is different everyone. Because Chris' sunken place only looked liked he was watching tv because in the most helpless point of his life Chris was watching tv. So if you want a film that isn't afraid to push to you to the edge and make you feel a little uncomfortable then 'Get Out' might the film for you.… Expand

Since this is Jordan Peele’s first film, the movie is hilarious, but at the same time, it’s scary as you watch it. This film is arguably one of the best things I have ever seen nothing like it when it involves the combination of racism and social horror on the big screen. The acting, direction, screenplay, philosophy, and the tone of this movie matched how crazy that film is set up. If Jordan Peele made a sequel or a spinoff of Get Out, the next movie will be even crazier like this one! Without a doubt, this movie is an instant cult classic and a must checkout if you’re willing to see a movie that has a wild of sense of humor taking on social horror and racial tensions.… Expand

Great movie, it has not only social and racial commentary, but actually it is both a bit funny and also it has some horror elements in it and the suspense is quite great, plus you do feel for the character and feel like you are in the story with him.

I was skeptical of it at first, since I knew the director was Jordan Peele, I thought "Oh this is going to be a comedy" or something. I WAS WRONG. The movie starts off with a light tone, and in the middle of it all it just gives out a feeling of discomfort. A feeling of awkwardness. It's a good feeling because that's what the movie sets out to achieve. The feeling of impending racism, of being stereotyped. The movie sets out to give us a feeling that we are not welcome here.

Coming into the cinema, I really had no clue what this movie was about, apart from what they divulged in the trailer, and the trailers even added to my confusion.

The movie does a great job of setting the overall eerie-ness of the atmosphere. The soundtrack does wonders to it as well! Although this movie isn't a comedy, it had some really funny scenes that you can tell Jordan Peele just couldn't help himself. The timing of the comedy, and the scarcity of it, is why this film is gold to me. The comedy comes at such a time where we're just coming off a heavy, intense scene, and the director just wants us to take a breather. A little comic relief. And it is effective! It is well timed. I applaud them for that.

I don't have anything to say about the acting other than, it was good, not great. What I will say though, is the movie is unoriginal. When I found out the real reason for everything at the end, I felt as if I've already seen this plot twist somewhere else before. A lo and behold, I remembered the movie "The Skeleton Key". It's not that old of a movie, but it had a similar plot. That's the only part where I felt this movie did weakly. The lack of originality. But where they lacked in originality, they made up for in execution! Bravo.… Expand

Discrimination, in all its possible variables, is a matter of which it's possible to get very far both in extension and intellection, an issue that has touched various media in terms of attacking this puppet of such evil purposes. Basing on a sad-popular behavior such as racism in the United States of today, filmmaker Jordan Peele—who gained status by TV shows of a comic nature that with the accustomed dubious quality achieved American transcendence—presents a sour, fiery and impetuous social satire brimming with black humor with delicious psychological thriller hint that arrives in order to impact strong on a certain well-off sector thanks to a reflective tale of the big little lies that we tell each other in such a clever, effective and commercial way that might well gets it a list of meritorious titles as "cult film" or "the best suspense movie of the year" and maybe, a round of accolades for its splendid components, identical in quality, different in appearance.

Peele's feature film converges, in not few vertices, with the laudable allegorical representation ("The Invitation", 2015), highlighting as the main concomitant the essence of the true thriller: increasing discomfort and vulnerability sown in order to audience does not feel secure with what happens on the screen, which provokes in this incessant birth of perceptions toward the loaded questions posed by the story. A genre equivalent to a perverse roulette, in which in the slightest moment of carelessness, a rush of revolutions can shake your safety from head to toe. Such concordance adorned with an acute social criticism, substantial of the authentic films inaugurated by Mr. Hitchcock, in which are exhibited the poorest actions that we can come to commit. We're the black and white dots.

While it builds outstanding psychological game with detailedness, Peele, deserving of double mention acting as scriptwriter and director, conjures up ordinary components and other unusual that can be abridged in three major fields: the first one, of course, is the narrative, although, beyond wise skill of developing the subliminal core idea, it's the successful combination and harmonization between two discordant genres as horror and comedy, an impressive achievement especially in the decadent film period in which we are in. While comedy is based on the supporting comic relief gags (adversarially a black man) and the irony of the situations, it's fascinating as horror doesn't require scary monsters or spooky entities to fulfill its objective, here, terror springs up from dread and the veiled significance of the words, from confrontation with the harsh reality. The second one is plausible constituents at a technical level, namely, its mise-en-scène, soundtrack, cinematography, and photography that unite the vertiginous final act with the hesitant first act using, as usual in Jason Blum's company, precise elements that facilitate and enrich the following of the story. It's prodigious in the composition of its images, having in its power a vacation home encircled by a dry forest is not a break, on the contrary, it's sensational as they create beauty, usually in confined spaces, with what they have. With certainty, the film has conceived one of the most beautiful shots in horror film history, an oneiric picture where Chris (Kaluuya) jolts awake after a cyclic hypnosis in a pale leather sofa, with the sound effect from an old TV as the only company, his face—tremendously photographic—raises an analogy through the melodramatic tears in his exorbitant eyes, a frame that will last in the memory of any modern cinephile. There are also sparkling scenes, which reach horns of the moon in its exciting third act, highlighting vigorously camera focus in the third major factor: the overwhelming and heterogeneous performances. Kaluuya's role radiates power and strength, he's sensitive and unprotected when he needed, aggressive and lethal when everything is a disaster. The alienation of the Armitage family is dosed between the competent actors, from which stand out Allison Williams (with a twisted plot worthy of Shyamalan) and her brother in the fiction. Exclusive attention requests scene stealer Betty Gabriel, who plays a couple of shocking scenes, with dimensions of complexity and interpretative depth typical of an acting matron. Be careful because this lady and Kaluuya will present great surprises.

Conscious of its game, Peele's motion picture is a deliberate subversion, offered by the hand of cinema, which cries out for the eradication of injustices perpetuated by the social and political sects of the Trump era. It also breaks supposed barriers between genres and ideas and overflows creativity and power by creating situations as exciting as cartoon-like, as intelligent as reflexive; A satire that wasn't requested, perhaps out of fear, but in the end, it came with a relentless purpose. It achieves what many feature films don't: surprise and affect.… Expand

"Get Out" was an incredible movie, and of all the things I can reward, this one has been intriguing, you feel that you need to get out of a serious problem like that of the protagonist of the film, and this movie is going to grab you from the chair.

Add to that a very promising trailer, the award nominations and wins and mostly positive word of mouth (even with the very vocal detractors), and interest was higher.

High expectations were not only met but also exceeded. Apologies for the cliché, but to me that is the best way to sum up my personal experience watching 'Get Out'. Can totally see why it was as well received as it was, though can also see why it has divided audiences on here. While it will never be one of my favourite films, 'Get Out' is among the better films of 2017 and does live up to the hype.

It's an incredibly well-made film visually, with stylish and unsettling cinematography and editing and some disturbingly surreal imagery that adds to, and enhances, the unease and sense of dread.

That the direction was done by a first-time director is a shock in itself, one of the most outstanding debut directing jobs seen in a long time by me. It's nostalgic in its embracing of contemporary and classic horror and also brave in the accomplished handling of the film's combative themes.

Being somebody who considers music important when talking about it, the music looms suitably ominously and fits well. 'Get Out' benefits from an extremely smart and clever script (though 'The Shape of Water' and especially 'Lady Bird' were worthier wins for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar in my view), that takes on a lot of elements and balances them adeptly and the individual elements handled very effectively.

Despite how it sounds, 'Get Out' struck me as more of a thriller with horror and comedic elements. It is highly successful on this front, with the thriller elements being taut, suspenseful and unsettling, the comedic ones being darkly funny and clever and the horror ones being imaginatively shocking and subtly uneasy. There is even some social commentary and interracial themes explored, and done thoughtfully and just about avoids preachiness while hitting hard still.

While all the performances are very fine, it is Daniel Kaluuya's superb lead performance that burns in the memory the most.

My only complaint of 'Get Out' is the too pat and somewhat silly ending that felt tacked on and like it came out of a different film, to me it too ended on a tonally jarring and that's it note.

Until then, the film was this close to being a masterpiece. So it was frustrating that it just missed out on that distinction. Nonetheless it's a great film that is among the year's better ones, brought down by an underwhelming ending. 9/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

The characters were fantastic, they were all interesting and entertaining to watch and that's because the acting was perfect, the main character wasn't stupid which is a problem I have with horror movies, here he was calm and logical.

I really recommend it, the only con I have is that the ending goes a bit too far, I won't spoil anything, but it did become ridiculous to a certain point, I know it's an exageration to prove the movie's point but it was a bit distracting.… Expand
