Jordan Peele’s follow-up to Get Out stands alongside its predecessor as a thrilling mix of horror, humor, and heady commentary. A powerhouse performance by Lupita Nyong’o (she landed at the top spot in the lead actress race in our 2019 Film Awards and Nominations Scorecard) anchors the film by bringing emotional depth to two characters, and Peele’s ability to toy with expectations results in a film that rewards a second viewing.
“Us is a true genre flick, polished to a fine degree, a pure distillation of the essence of horror cinema.” —Christopher Machell, CineVue
