Review of Us (2019) by Timmyslices — 28 Mar 2019
I rarely am an opening weekend moviegoer but I felt I must go see 'Us'. My suggestion: wait until your next long distance flight.
Very high production value, but as you zoom out from the story you find yourself saying, "wait, what? thats ridiculous" for so many spots in the movie. The overall plot just doesn't really land and I'd call this one a dud.
It didn't help that there were several moments that were definitely supposed to be tense that the direction and acting make me have to hold in my desire to laugh. Unless I'm in the dark here and this was intended to be more 'spoof' leaning I would say that Jordan Peele missed the mark on many moments in this film and as the scope of the story widens it really loses itself. Too ambitious for sure.
