Review of Us

Us (II) (2019)
8/10
Trading Symbolism for Logic
22 March 2019
I was excited for "Us." Following Jordan Peele's "Get out" and a phenomenal first trailer; I was pretty excited to see where this movie was going. After watching the movie in full I was confused. I was confused whether I thought this was an entertaining/eh movie or if it was a spectacular movie. After deliberating in my mind I believe this movie is pretty great! There are admittedly some logical issues that don't really add up in my own head, however, I think Peele wanted this to be a talking point. He instead focuses a lot on symbolism and honestly it's beautiful and a bit scary.

The character dynamics are really cool to watch. Especially Adelaide/Red. I was kind of obsessed with the creepy-like leadership motions of Red. I can only imagine this was a fun role for Lupita to play!
