Review of Us (2019) by Brent_Marchant — 23 Mar 2019

This richly layered, deftly nuanced smart horror offering tells a tale that can be viewed both personally and collectively, one that gives the audience much to think about upon leaving the theater. Director Jordan Peele's second feature defies the sophomore jinx, delivering an expertly crafted allegorical story that's captivating and insightful while delivering great laughs and a few good scares without becoming gratuitous.

As good as his first picture, "Get Out," was, the filmmaker has taken a quantum leap in his artistry and storytelling skills with this release, an accomplishment that will likely allow him to write his own ticket from here on out.
