Thank you United International Pictures Singapore and MovieXclusive.com for the premiere tickets to academy award winner Jordan Peele movie - US. What a masterpiece; every minute was intense and the last 40 mins (or so) was just incredible. While it is a horror-film, i felt it was more mind-boggling than scary. Jordan Peele is a genius filmmaker. Audience will need to really observe all details, this is the inception of the Horror genre. I genuinely think it is as good as GET OUT.
I really love the way the movie instill fear without using the element of ghost, demons or sound effect. The story itself is able to freak anyone out. Delighted that the movie director manage to re create the part where the actress cry and laugh at the same time. Simply amazing.
While the film appears to have a slow and meandering pace at the beginning, there are many clues and interesting subtects scattered throughout the film which makes thr next hour to come all the more intense,fun,rewarding and shocking to watch. While the metaphor might not be as done well as in Get Out, the film offers a pretyy fun twist with many clues littered throughout and a few hilarious sequences (one involving a woman being violently murdered to a popular Beach Boys' song.) It was a little lacking in actual tension at some parts though. But, on the most part, this is a pretty fun popcorn thriller.
Lupita Nyong'o is simply awesome! She’s soooo convincing. Winston duke who played her hubby n this show is soooooooo funny. Though I wasn’t looking at the screeen most of the time, I have to say that the play and all is magnificent! But it’s not meant for the faint hearted. One lady actually walk out of the theatre at the start of the show...
amazing symbolism, really thought-provoking. warrants more than one viewing. I don't watch horror much, but this was more unsettling than it was outright scary or gory or violent. not as great or tight as Get Out wrt plot, but Lupita Nyong'o's acting is stunning.
WOW. JORDAN PEELE OUTDID HIMSELF AGAIN. Scenes were filmed super creepily plus the music totally helped it in that aspect. Definitely a movie which makes you want to catch it a second time (or more) to figure out the thousands of theories which are possible!
I watched this because I loved 'get out' . Frankly speaking, I find 'get out' a better film. That being said, 'us' also has a very interesting plot. The twist at the end wasn't that expected for me. You'll be kept on the edge of your seat at many points. Overall, it is definitely worth a watch, even if just to ponder over the meaning of the film. Also, excellent acting by Lupita Nyong'o.
For the actors, it’s a chance to play two extremes, one of intense normality and the other of wretched evil. Peele also elucidates a wonderful sense of terror. A simple household items turned into the film’s standout symbol. Scissors anyone.
I entered the theatre with high expectations since I saw Get Out, I was not disappointed and I left the theatre with my jaw wide open and highkey scared
