Review of Get Out (2017) by Cachou — 06 May 2017
The worst film I have seen in a long time. Slow, boring, predictable, and the violence at the end is simply disgusting. It didn't give me any thrill (not like the subtle, psychological violence in Black Swans, for instance).
Just made me want to leave the theater. I felt cheated of my $15. My husband and our friend felt the same. This film is transparently symbolic: how alien a black guy feels in the middle of white people, how much violence there is in society, how the white people have the power, control the blacks, and entertain clichés about them, and so on.
Guess who's coming for dinner was so much more subtle! And it was fun. Nowadays it looks like a young filmmaker needs to put violence in his film to be noticed because people got desensitized. I agree with the reviews which say that this film got excellent reviews from the critics simply because they were afraid of being called racist.
