Review of Get Out (2017) by Robert A — 26 Jun 2017

The reviews for this film are very similar to the themes covered so deftly by Mr. Peele. It was so very familiar to all of 'us' and so exposing to 'them'. Every black person on earth understands exactly what's going on,because it's what we live every single day.

A lot of whites may feel exposed and label the film heavy handed. He exposes behaviors that are usually covered up by just about everyone. This is particularly true in the post-Obama, pro-trump era. The genius of the film is how it keeps reinventing itself.

It changes the way that film where people pay to do anything horrible they want to another person. That film starts out tame and beautiful, then slowly morphs into a shadowy place where a giant factory shoots out plumes of human ashes.

Peele manages to achieve the same thing here, so when you see Allison's transformation at the end of the film, its shocking. I was really expecting her to be different somehow and not part of the crazy scheme.

I could go on, but suffice to say, a brilliant film from one of the brightest voices to come along in a very long time.
