what a watershed feat Peele has pulled off, delivering such a gloriously twisted thriller that simultaneously has so much to say about the state of affairs in post-Obama America
the script is an incredibly clever look at elitist racism and the idea of slavery in the modern world, which is more than we should ask for from a fun horror flick
Peele's premise proves too difficult to dramatize, but it cleverly allows him to riff on the conflicting white desires to simultaneously appropriate and erase black culture (an idea that Stanfield's character embodies to perfection)
Get Out's delicate balancing act gets wobbly in the second half of the film when Peele's conceptually daring premise unspools with a fairly cliched genre climax. For a film that's asking hard questions, it takes the easy way out
