 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here? So I just saw us us is Jordan Peele sophomore feature film Everyone knows he did get out and came out in 2017. They got him an Academy Award It had a 100% going for an Orion Tomatoes at the time of its release and for a good period of time after its release But since then has been knocked down to 98% I've just looked at that recently But us stars Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Dupes You might be familiar with them from Black Panther. We also have Elizabeth Moss Tim Highdecker Evan Alex and several others That starred in this rather interesting movie So right off the bat. I want to say this is not better than get out It was a more direct slasher film and more grounded in horror I want to say and get out, but it also had a bit more comedy than get out did Jordan Peele did this thing here. I want to say this was a Very good follow-up to what you previously did the problem with us and however is the fact that it does have a lot of plot holes The story though is very in it keeps you interested throughout the entire time There's never a single dull moment Some of the dialogue that Winston Dukes is given and his character at times can become annoying But everyone across the board Despite how annoying I found his character to be everyone across the board gave an amazing performance Jordan Peele did an amazing job directing this movie While the script was filled with a few holes Regarding like some plot twists and the whole central Concept of what the film actually was at the end I Think everything else was just fine the score Michael Michael of Abdel I think that's his name or Michael Abel I believe is Abdel this man and his scores because he I believe he's only done the other only of the movie He's done is get out His scores are absolutely beautiful the music in this movie. It's so good The way it's lined up with each scene so perfectly it's just very The the way this man like takes the score and He picks the right it seems like it feels like he's picking the right music to play During these scenes and it's just beautiful to see because I thought get out soundtrack was absolutely amazing But I think that The soundtrack for us is a little bit better. That's just me personally I think the soundtrack and us is a bit better I think Michael Abdel is an amazing musical composer But the plot of us this movie was about the the Wilson family they're going back to the hometown or the vacation spot of The mother of the family who was played by Lou Peter Nyong'o. She plays Adeline Wilson They're going back to that spot for the summer They're supposed to meet up with with or they're just going back to that spot for like a little break family vacation They're supposed to meet up with some friends This would be Elizabeth Moss and her family When they get there they encounter these doppelgangers they look exactly like them now along the way you're gonna find out Where these doppelgangers came from you're gonna find out what they actually all represent You're gonna get a bunch of twists along the way It'll make sense in the sense that it's there But this movie is gonna require a lot more rewatches I want to say this is gonna be the hereditary of you now That's gonna not sit well with a lot of people because I know there were a lot of people that were upset With hereditary because of the high score that they got but you have to remember that you cannot Look at reviews and then set unrealistic expectations for these movies. So Just because a movie has a high score doesn't really mean That it's all that in a bag of chips. It could still just be a good movie and that's it That's what I want to say this was I don't want to say it was overhyped I think it's sitting at the perfect rating that it is right now. It's sitting at like a 95 I think that's a perfect rating for a movie like this There's a lot of good There's a lot of metaphors in the movie several things Represent other things a lot lots of symbolism in the imagery and the things that are shown on screen The acting in this movie like I said before everyone across the board stole the show Lupita Nyong'o However, she she was like the standout For me personally, I think for a lot of other people. She'll be to stand out the way she Because these people are playing multiple characters. They're not multiple the plane They're playing themselves and they're also playing their doppelganger. So the way Lupita is highlighted in the film Because she's like the central key piece of this story Well, we see her interacting with her Double and the way she's performing and the things and the way she just makes each of them very different It's just a beautiful thing to watch on her behalf. I Think she did an amazing job. She's gonna be I Want to say this will probably lead to her getting another Oscar nomination because he's already won an Academy Award But I wouldn't be surprised if she gets overlooked because Tony Collette was overlooked for her performance in her edit area this movie From start to finish is just gonna be like a complete thrill ride Lots of laughs lots suspense lots of unexpected gore There's a couple montages with a few old-fashioned songs that a few people who watched this movie might enjoy Cinema togathy is fine Even the child actors they they held the wrong even though they didn't really do much They were just really they were doing facial expressions for a lot of it. I felt Everyone just did a very good job, but again, there's a few plot holes that interfere with the overall story The concept so it's the plot holes and the fact that not everything is going to be completely Straightforward and I think Jordan Poole did it on purpose to leave this up for interpretation on a scale of one to ten I'm gonna give this a seven point five out of ten I am very pleased with this movie. I think Jordan Peele has a lot of potential and I think he has I think his Candyman movie is coming out next year So I want to see what he's gonna do with that and then he also has his Twilight series was just coming out Next month at the very beginning of the month on April 1st It's Twilight series will be premiering on CVS all-access, but in regards to us. This is a very Very worthy follow-up to get out Jordan Peele did not outdo himself But he proved that you can avoid sophomore slump And while his penmanship was a bit all over the place because I feel I feel like what what happened was He didn't have it seems like someone someone else wasn't there to look over this script They they just had a little bit too much trust in him Because he did so well would get out because there's there's plot holes in this movie They're not gonna sit well with a lot of people But the performances and everything else in the movie make up for the concept of the whole thing the The score the cinematography everything else about the movie is just so well done that Some of the some of the piss poor penmanship will just be something you can overlook I'm gonna give it a seven point five out of ten. I'm very pleased with this movie I really loved us.
