Jordan Peele's latest movie being out in theaters. I thought I would visit his first movie. Holy shit. I am floored.
Chris Washington (Kaluuya) is a photographer that is going to visit his girlfriend, Rosie Armitage (Williams) parents for the weekend. When the couple gets there, Chris has the feeling that Dean and Missy Armitage (Whitford, Keener) are hiding something.
This experience is a trippy one. As a black person or any person of color, you always have this uneasiness when you are the odd person out. When you are in a room with all white people being the only POC there, you feel uncomfortable.
From the start of the movie, I was thinking that something fucked up with gonna happen. It did happen, but not what I thought it was. The score heightened the psychological aspects of the movie. It was uncomfortable for the viewer to see.
This was a visceral experience. I don't know if all people are going to get the hidden meanings or messages that movie evokes. This was something to behold.
Rating:10/10
