I was not disappointed. He sets you up with a barrage of left jabs that started in how the trailers were cut and how the movie plays through most of it's length, and then he delivers a stunning right hook in the major twist of the film. Great portrayals from everyone and a movie that will make you want to watch it again to find the hidden threads that you should've seen and foreshadow what's to come.… Expand

Deceptively pitched as a horror film, it was a mostly boring mystery - not thriller - mystery. Jordan Peele ("Key and Peele"), who wrote/directed, got to live out his racial-retribution fantasy, good for him, but it's disgusting racism just the same.

Guess who's coming to dinner? It's a black man coming home to a rich suburban white families house for the weekend, and despite their black servants, they're extremely nice to their daughters new boyfriend, too nice, something weird is going on. Yes, something weird is going on, only Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya) is too stupid to realize it! He's so deeply in love with his girlfriend of all of four months, that not only can't he see what's going on right in front of his face, but he doesn't try to talk to her about it, he doesn't try to investigate any of it, he just sort of goes with the flow. People are raving about this noir thriller, when it is one of the most poorly written films I've seen in a while. Major plot holes aside for the moment, there is absolutely no character development, no chemistry between the actors, and worst of all they don't even reveal the main plot until twenty minutes before the thing is over! Yes, it's weird, yes, something is going on, but the writers don't even hint at what that is! They don't even give us a chance to figure out what it could possibly be. At first it was interesting and I was hoping there would be clues to help us figure out what might be going on, that maybe Chris would find evidence or over hear something, but no such luck. Maybe there could have been a scene without him, that gave us some insight, there was absolutely nothing until the very end, when it was all thrust into our faces and even then it really didn't make a whole lot of sense. Without giving anything away, they never answer the fundamental question, why black people? I never liked traditional noir, but at least most of the time the acting is good and you have some idea of what's going on. This film is just one big circle of confusion and to be honest with you, aside from some terrific comic relief, I hated every minute of it.… Expand

Worst movie ever. Another attempt to blur racial lines. The black man is hero, white people are bad and the genetic and sexual stereotype myth is shamelessly brought out. Wanted to walk out in the first 15 minutes.

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. I'm a big horror/thriller fan so I intentionally avoided reading anything about "Get Out" prior to watching because I like to be totally surprised.

From the very first scene of the movie it pile-drives the viewer with racial tensions so heavily, with no nuance, that for the first twenty minutes I was expecting a really clever twist later in the film. I figured it was all misdirection for a huge plot twist. However, after about 45 minutes I started realizing that maybe it wasn't trying to be clever and was simply playing it straight. Although I held out hope for a major twist it became obvious that the "twist" was going to be that the girlfriend was part of the family cult, and I was very disappointed to be right.

"Get Out" reveals itself to be, in the final analysis, just a middling thriller. I was shocked to discover that it had received almost universal acclaim. In my honest opinion, this film is only receiving high marks because of either blind racial solidarity or the fear of being labeled a racist by writing a less-than-glowing review. It's a competent production - it looks great and has a cool soundtrack - but the actual plot is so flimsy that its attempts at satire are weak. I can't imagine why anyone honestly thinks that this film is anything other than a mediocre popcorn-muncher that just so happens to include a hot-button political issue in its premise.

Daniel Kaluuya gives a great performance as does LilRel Howery. If it wasn't for them, this movie wouldn't even have been worth watching. I was disappointed in Catherine Keener's performance; I've admired her past work but here she just phones it in. The rest of the cast was so boring they're not even worth mentioning.

My favorite part of the movie was when Walter, the groundskeeper, came running out of the darkness at Chris. It was so strange and off-putting that it made the hair on my arms stand up! That's the kind of stuff you hope for in a horror film but sadly those moments were in short supply. The other parts that were supposed to be "odd" were just forced and cringe-worthy (for instance: Georgina's near-meltdown when her and Chris have their one-on-one conversation).

"Get Out" is too hollow to be considered profound and too self-indulgent to be considered good entertainment. However, I think that the director has the talent to someday make a film that lives up to his vision.… 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

Too bad it happens rarely, most of the time it tries to be scary, without being it. It can't even be a thriller because the director spoiled the "Truth" in the first five minutes of the film, so you don't get the feeling of discovering the bad guys or something like that.

If it was a black (pun intended) humor comedy with horror tints in a slasher way it would've been awesome (every scene with lil rel howery is great), but when they try to sell you this thriller-esque "Who knows whats going on here and if there is something to fear" it is just pointless because you already know.… Expand

But beyond that the movie just wasn't very funny, very interesting or very scary. The only reason critics are praising this is to not get called a racist and to avoid being swept away by the wave of "Oscars so white." It would be refreshing AND TRULY SURPRISING for a black film maker to make a movie, any movie, where the central theme wasn't racism, now THAT would be noteworthy. I won't hold me breath. Until black film makers embrace the fact that they are more than just spokesman for the black race as a whole, that they can convey ideas beyond "being black" they will never produce anything that we won't see coming a mile away.… Expand

Part of the problem was certainly due to the fact that I saw this on video after the hype and critical reaction had been built so high that it couldn't possibly have lived up to its 87 Metacritic score and 99% Rotten Tomatoes score. If you like your social satire to be "hit-you-over-the head" (repeatedly and literally) obvious, then this might be the movie for you. I guess knowing Jordan Peele's other work, I shouldn't have expected "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," but I did expect maybe an ounce or two of character development and nuance. This doesn't have that. All the tropes have been done before (did you know that white people play lacrosse and like to ask black people about the NBA?).

That said, there are plenty of things to like about this movie. The acting is pretty solid (with the exception of Catherine Keener). Daniel Kaluuya is fantastic. Allison Williams, despite a pretty weak track record, holds up her role with aplomb. Milton "LilRel" Howery steals the show with his role as the comic relief/truth teller. Peele's direction does a fantastic job with capturing the creepiness inherent in the setup. It's worth a watch when it makes it to HBO or Netflix, but you may be upset if you shell out the $6 or $7 to see it on PPV.… 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. GET OUT is an absolutely downright excellent horror film. Brilliant pacing, & acting.

BUT - reverse the races in GET OUT and we'd have a complete *outcry* against this movie being nominated for BEST PICTURE in 2018's Oscars.

[ SPOILER ALERT ]

The slow, methodical physical and sexual torture white people (including some Asians) vote in this film to perform on a black man because he decided to share a white family's home equally so - proving the dear love he had with a white woman was and will always be fake - coupled with the black man's final resolution of the only way out is a complete slaughter of the whites and then slow, determined strangulation of the white girl who dated him..

.. Excuse me?


Switch the races --

If that were a white man visiting a black family --- a Caucasian man visiting an African American family and dating that African American family's daughter --- and the black family did the torturing of the white man .... resulting in black (instead of white) executions, capped beautifully off with a white man's slow strangulation of a young black woman to free himself from her and her black clan's clutches. Okay - would that be offered as Oscar's BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR ?


An uproar at the very least would be thrown against this heralding of a white man killing African Americans to purportedly escape from the black man's clutches, and the slow strangulation of an African American woman justifiably and rightfully so it can never happen again; that should not be a Best OSCAR Picture of the Year.


Then -- why is this nominated for OSCAR Best Picture of the Year?

Oh I guess since they're whites being killed off and strangled it's okay.


Best horror film - fine. "Best Picture of the Year" .. wow.


Though as noted an amazing horror film in pacing and acting, its twisted racial abuse and senseless killing storyline makes me give this a 1.… Expand

The most dissappointing aspect of the movie is that the director actually succeeds inContrary to the many takes and reviews that this movie has received, this movie is neither enlightening, fresh or most importantly, entertaining as a whole. The most dissappointing aspect of the movie is that the director actually succeeds in capturing the proper mood of eeriness that hooks the interest of the audience when watching a movie of this category. Unfortunately, the movie crashes and burns when all the pieces start coming together - or rather does NOT come together. The symbolism comes hard and heavy, and many audiences will already know the racial undertones that the plot conveys. It is actually solidly acted with all the actors going full bore into their respective characters, and the story creates the mood of off kilter discomfort very well when it comes to the interactions between the straight laced protagonist and the surrounding cast.

However the movie devolves into a series of illogical missteps that completely undermines the intent of the movie. Nothing is more dissapointing than seeing a movie start off with great promise and anticipation for a satisfying conclusion, than to see it totally fall apart at the wheels no sooner than the start of the second act, and this is precisely when this movie loses its appeal completely.

Serious, possibly thought provoking situations foreshadowed at the start of the movie break down into outright buffoonery more akin to a Wayans brothers Scary Movie plot. One particular development is a shark-jumping moment that makes the movie go from psychological thriller to full on science fiction. Many of these twists and the direction that the movie goes into seem to have been to make a symbolic or overt social commentary, something I understand is a point the film is attempting to create. However, the method is clumsy and ridiculously heavy handed. The most disappointing part is that the commentary is on point - but the sacrifice made to story, plot and logic is so insulting to the audience that the imagery is dulled to an afterthought. Many guides to the hidden meanings of this film exist, but as a movie watcher, should we really need to have a guide book to a story in order for it to make any semblance of sense?

I am fairly harsh on this movie because it is one of those films where the initial plot is interesting enough to capture you, you invest your time to learn more, and the result is a slap in the face. You feel cheaply tricked by the time the end credits roll. Most importantly, the subject matter that this movie explores deserves quite a bit more than this schlock.… Expand

The horror isn't very scary, the comedy is sparse and the racial commentary amounts to 'man, white people say dumb **** over and over and over again.

The major premise of the white people's motivation doesn't add up and as others have said it takes over an hour before it's revealed what the plot of the movie is.

If, like me, you're not from the US, you're going to find this agonizing over the correct way to behave to black people really tiresome too.

Mediocre because lots of stuff thrown into the movie is just a diversion and has nothing whatsoever to do with the plot. It's there only to trick you and is left as a hanging thread never explained. And in the end the answer to what's really going on is just ridiculous and kind of cliche. I thought the director was M. Night Shyamalan, that's how bad it is. But it turns out the director is black, and that I suspect explains the positive reviews. It's celebration is about political correctness. And so people conjure grand statements about how the movie is a commentary on racism, when it's nothing more than a mildly entertaining, unoriginal, long drawn out substandard Twilight Zone episode. It makes no sophisticated point about anything, and it doesn't work well as a drama or story. But it will keep you occupied as you empty your bag of popcorn.… Expand

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.

Get Out messes with my head, and it is very very clever with how everything is set up and resolved.… Expand

The movie has a great cast and is technically well made, but to enjoy either you have to get past a ridiculously dumb and incredibly predictable plot. It's listed as a horror movie but it never actually gets scary as the premise is just too far-fetched. For some reason it tries to do jump scares and even gore towards the end but never does it manage to be effective. Sure, the characters create a suspenseful atmosphere but it never manages to create any suspension of disbelief. I read other reviews that mention plot twists but I have no idea what they are talking about. Everything plays out in the most predictable manner.

As far as the social commentary goes, the movie depicts a world in which every white person cannot avoid making racial remarks for one second. I guess it fits the ridiculous premise, but I found it hard to draw any parallels to reality because of how grotesque the narrative is.

While it is watchable, it is very difficult to take seriously. Come on; there's even a scene in which a character summarizes the plot to outsiders and everybody just laughs at him because it is utterly ridiculous.… Expand

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Director Jordan Peele goes after the liberal elite in this obviously satire film that isn’t even scary and didn’t scare audiences, but it isn’t even a documentary for that matter. As you know, Get Out was put in the comedy category at the Golden Globes. However, Jordan Peele insists it is a documentary. But it is a comedy, like I said, and it is sure to win many awards in the comedy category. In the film, the ‘help’ of the liberal elite are to serve a purpose that is both funny and quite entertaining. The obvious silly insinuations are full of laughs suitable for the whole family, and jokes for every culture, religion, creed and socio-economic background to enjoy. The entire theatre will burst into unrestrained and spontaneous laughter at the comedic elements strewn forth for the audience’s delight. But if it were a comedy it should have won the category! In all seriousness, 5 out of 5 stars for an outstanding film. The best I have seen in a long time. This will be the gold standard for black horror films, it perhaps has invented a new genre.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Get Out (2017), directed by one of the people who got this job the latest, Jordan Peele. The movie was thought to be an American horror, but instead, it was an American thriller and not only it was a thriller but also a kind of social racism to transition to violent, overt racism. It’s like a racism with violence. I don’t know why white hated black so much. We’re in the 21st century and Lincoln had done something for this situation (perhaps get out set up in the 19th century). This movie had a combination of mystery, horror, violence and racism which what I was talking about, an American thriller about racism. The cast was great. I really like the way Daniel Kaluuya acted as Chris Washington, an African-American guy. I saw him looked like a child when he was frozen, hypnotized with tears coming from his eyes. The reason for such good performances was the adapted screenplay. Everything they said made sense and we could understand a lot. The other casts also did great on being the whitties who hated the blacks. Also I should hear someone says **** Rose Armitage was also well-played by Alison Williams. She was a naïve and privileged American white girlfriend of Chris Washington who was hypnotized by her grandfather in the end. LilRel Howery was great as well playing Chris’ best friend Rob who was really funny (his voice, how he acted). How they set the beginning of this movie was totally perfect for a racism. A black man getting abducted by a white guy and was sent into the white guy’s car. I didn’t know what the hell was happening there. When it got to the scenes where many people are visiting the Armitage house, I still was confused what the movie was trying to tell us. I had no clue. It was just a black guy was taken by his girlfriend to her house and then they were eating outside and then the black guy slept then went to the white girl’s mother and she helped him to reduce smoking addiction. Then, when Chris got kidnapped by the Armitages, I suddenly realized this was a racist movie. I really didn’t understand about the hypnotizing part (how could Missy do that?). In spite of being a thriller, there were jump scares like sudden stab and attack (which nobody gives you a clue about someone is gonna attack you) and bloody violences like a guy cut another guy’s upper part of his head to get his brain, it was really disgusting. Blacks and Whites. The cinematography was just great. The views were well-shot. Get Out also spent some of its time capturing the uneasiness of sitting down on a chair having dinner with the whitties when Chris was berated by Dean and Missy for his smoking addiction and he also smoked in front of Rose, their daughter. As you know, Peele is a comedian, we saw that in the Tv Series Key and Peele, some scenes in the movie I found them funny as well. The premise reads like a Key and Peele sketch concept: A black man visits his white girlfriend’s rich family and awkwardness ensues. I have already said that Howery was one part of the humor. I was really entertained watching the movie (even though I wasn’t old enough to watch it). Even though it’s a thriller, horror movie fans might find it entertaining as well and like it a lot. The movie also gave me some Goosebumps and maybe others too perhaps.… Expand

Seriously though, I don't think I've ever seen a movie try so hard to lay out it's social commentary in such an explicit and undeniable way so quickly. It's all just surface level racial stereotype type stuff too, just the typical modern leftwing racial tension stoking. The actual directing and cinematography is not that good either. It honestly feels pretty low budget. Other than the opening "stay woke" song, the rest of the musical soundtrack also had me cringing as it all felt very soap operay at times, especially when layered on top of the poor cinematography. The whole movie has a "made for TV" feel to it. Most of the acting is mediocre at best, however Daniel Kaluuya did a great job in his role as he always does. That chick from 'Being John Malkovich' did a pretty good job as well. Unfortunately it's the material these actors were given to work with that is the problem. The writing and dialogue are very poor. This is what happens when a writer's main objective is to force "the message" to the forefront to this extreme a degree, the potential for actual interesting dialogue and story telling gets put on the back burner and ultimately discarded. As an old school classical Liberal, who wants to strive for a post-racial society, this movie was a chore to sit through. Could be argued this movie is pro-segregation propaganda. The main metaphor is that white people manipulate black people into giving up their "authentic blackness" and conforming to "whiteness" (whatever the hell those two things are). This movie is a paranoid fever dream for the racially obsessed so-called "anti-racists". I'm sure Robin DiAngelo and Kendi love this movie. They probably watch it on a weekly basis. They may even put it on every night to lullaby themselves to sleep. I'm assuming all the praise for this movie is for purely ideological reasons coming from people in that "anti-rasict" ideological camp. Very horrible and cringy movie, on multiple levels. I usually try to be pretty objective with my scores and this movie is in all honesty probably a 2 in reality but my classical Liberalism bias is bumping it down to a 1. "Stay woke" y'all!!!… Expand

He would probably never make a movie again. It seems that whites in America are extremely repressed nowadays and everyone accepts that.… 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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Generally considered one of the best movies of 2017, it’s rather safe to name ‘Get Out’ as the best horror film of the year. It’s only real competition would be ‘IT’, maybe ‘mother!’ (it’s proven to be rather divisive), and if you want to count it as a horror film, ‘The Shape of Water’. Excluding IT, there is actually a theme linking these recent horror successes. They each have more to them than simply being scary. Whether it be a message you can interpret, dazzling visuals or splashes of comedy, they each bring something else to the table.

Directed, surprisingly enough, by Jordan Peele, famous for his hilarious sketch comedy, Get Out is a genuine surprise. Based on the director, I’d made the assumption that this film would be a generic horror comedy, presumably relishing in over-the-top jumpscares and gore. Instead, what I found myself watching was somewhat of a mystery. Jordan Peele himself said that the film ‘can’t be put into a genre box’, and he’s right; it could arguably be a horror film, a suspenseful thriller, a comedy, a mystery or a pretentious commentary of race relations in America. Mercifully, I didn’t interpret it as the latter.

Originally conceived following Barack Obama’s second election, the film tackles a subject of race-relations rarely noticed: the opposite of racism. And I’m not talking about ‘reverse-racism’. Many white characters in this film actually love black people so much, they want to become them. Knowing it was written during Obama’s second term, that makes sense. Watching it now, with President Trump in office, gives it a different spin. Regardless of how you interpreted the antagonists, they were probably the most ‘human’ villain in horror in recent memory. Ignoring some questionable science, they were depressingly human.

The cinematography was a pleasant surprise. Shots, while rarely astounding, strongly added to the mood. Throughout the film, they felt as though they were getting closer, until we are unable to escape the situation we’ve been thrust into. Also, at times, we can see background characters watching our protagonist without his knowledge. Tension is present throughout, whether it be due to a nervous comment we aren’t sure how to react to, or somebody brandishing a weapon, the audience can rarely relax, leaving you tired when the credits roll.

The characters are each rather interesting. Obviously, the family is all rather one-note, but they play that one note so sweetly, I can’t bring myself to complain. The exception to this is Rose (Allison Williams). This character shifts so jarringly, I briefly thought it was someone else in her body. Daniel Kaluuya’s portrayal of Chris was also wonderful, and rather believable. Ultimately, the featured roles stole the show, however. Both Marcus Henderson and Keith Stanfield were brilliant, but Betty Gabriel’s Georgina was flawless. While the ‘saying things in an overly happy way to be creepy’ trope has been played out a bit, the cast in this film manage to make it unsettling again.

My main issue with the film is that it doesn’t seem to think the audience is particularly bright. Much of the racial ‘undertones’ are forced upon us, lest we miss the point of the film. There’s also occasional recaps of past events in conversations between Rose and Chris. The audience doesn’t need to be told why something is awkward, or strange; we can work it out. It’s both more rewarding for the viewer, and saves time in the film. This comes to a head when Chris finally works out what’s going on. We see literal flashbacks to previous events, as though we’d have somehow forgotten the things we’d seen half an hour prior.

With that said, however, it does highlight something that pleases me greatly. This is a mystery you can actually solve if you’re paying attention. It’s teased earlier in the film that the family’s grandfather was not only a runner, but that he lost to a black man. It’s not too large a leap to find the character’s envy. Perhaps others are like this? We also learn the parents’ occupations rather early, too. The party scene is utterly littered with clues, to the point of it becoming painfully obvious looking back.

To conclude, I feel this film was an exceptionally successful film. With a budget of merely 4.5 million dollars, Jordan Peele has told not only a highly enjoyable horror (or thriller, or comedy..) film, but an interesting commentary on society today. It also manages to avoid persecuting the viewer, regardless of their race, as I feared it may end up doing. I am quite happy giving this a high 8/10. If you’re looking for an alternative to a crowd-pleasing horror film such as ‘IT’, I recommend Get Out. At the moment, the film has made a profit of 250 million dollars at the box office, and it deserves every one of them.… Expand

The characters are unfunny and unrelatable, including the fat friend used as comic relief. Jordan Peele chooses to ignore important questions of race, and would rather provide heavy-handed commentary about misappropriation. It's at times trite, ridiculous, and blatantly unoriginal. It's The Stepford Wives with black people. It's Invasion of the Body Snatchers without the fascinating philosophical questions about humanity. And the worst part is, if it didn't talk about black people no one would care about this hackneyed disaster.… Expand

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

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
