Review of Nope (2022) by Turntabledoc — 24 Jul 2022

What I love about Jordan Peele's films is that you know he's messing with you. You want a straight narrative? Go see something else. If you can use your brain and dig deep enough, all sorts of interesting layers present themselves.

I really loved the open-ended-ness of this film. It can be bizzare (in spades!) and still a very entertaining romp as an action thriller. For me the key question I keep coming back to is the allegorical connection between the alien beings and the lethal TV sitcom chimpanzee (what a f'ing deep and powerful concept).

And that's why Peele is a true auteur -- he creates spectacles that have multiple layers for observant people to sort through. I will gladly watch anything he decides to create.
