This review may contain spoilers.
Finally got to check this out again. Beautiful and captivating and so well-directed it's insane. I'm a sucker for good visuals when it comes to massive monsters, and aliens were my favorite thing to be creeped out over as a kid. The only complaints I have were of things that I wish could've happened in the movie, such as some additional character work that would've made the finale more emotional, which I think speaks to how good the stuff we got was. If we had a bit more meat on the bones, this could easily have been a 5 star movie for me. Which is not to say there wasn't any meat at all, I was very intrigued by the "spectacle" aspect of the whole thing and the different layers that were added to it to give it more depth. Peele's one of my personal favorite working directors of today, I need to check out Us sometime soon so I can be all caught up for his next project. I definitely think Get Out will remain my favorite of his for the time being, but looks-wise, spooks-wise, and thematically, this is by far his most engrossing work to date.
