Us was freaky. I love Jordan Peele and now I can say I’ve watched and loved all 3 of his films. I really enjoyed this, favourite horror film I’ve seen this month so far, which is unsurprising for a Jordan Peele film.  The ending was so creepy, I kinda loved it, though I thought it kinda didn’t make sense, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense and the more it freaks me out. Such a good twist. Jordan Peele's films are so deep and they always leave you with so much to think about while also giving you a really fun and a little bit of a scary experience. And on top of that he’s a comedic genius with Key and Peele, honestly what a creative mind he has.  The film looked amazing, I don’t usually focus too much on cinematography in films, but this just had me in awe of so many shots, they all looked so good and some of them were really smart. Also was so nice to look at with its tone and colours, just like get out and nope.  Main thing to take away from this film though. Oh my god Lupita Nyong’o, what an incredible performance. Winston Duke was also good, but oh my god she was so creepy I loved her in this. She played 2 characters, who were both so different but also so amazing for different reasons. Just wow. Elevated this film so much for me.  Yeah us was a good film, I would even watch it again.  8.5/10
