prevnextMy god, #UsMovie . Winston Duke plays corny dad pitch perfectly. Lupita Nyong’o did THAT with such a chilling performance. I’m not looking into a mirror anytime soon #SXSW pic.twitter.com/gQplTPPQW9

prevnext#Us is laugh out loud hilarious and disturbingly eerie all at once. Jordan Peele has a real command of imagery—suggestive visual language that amplifies a desired tone. It works really well for Us, which rolls along at a great pace. Watch out for this one.

prevnextJordan Peele’s #Us is absolutely nuts! Deliriously horrific, incredibly inventive, it has elements of the home invasion & zombie movies, but it is unlike anything I have ever seen. Wildly captivating from start to finish. #SXSW pic.twitter.com/vATBSUhD7e

prevnextWell #Us was much more ambitious than I expected. And dense. One things for sure, there’s no moment of rest. The ladies dominate the show: LUPITA, Shahadi Joseph, and Elizabeth Moss are excellent. #sxsw #sxsw2019

prevnextWell, #Us is a solid follow-up to #GetOut. More of a traditional horror effort that proves Jordan Peele can craft a scare (or twenty). One moment actually made me scream. Nyong’O is the MVP. Holy hell what a performance(s). Moss is also superb in her limited screen time.

prevnext#UsMovie is a heck of an experience. Funny enough to make you laugh, scary enough to make you scream, genuinely heartbreaking in moments, anchored by several incredible dual performances, especially Lupita’s. #SXSW

prevnextUS: Well, that was...DIFFERENT! Engrossing, scary, intense & unnerving, but also weird & bizarre! A bold, ambitious, *unpredictable* dark comedy, but what’s it all mean? A peculiar film, not sure what to make of it, need to see again! That’s a good thing...right? #USmovie #SXSW pic.twitter.com/0sBEg2P0Y9

#UsMovie is a house of horrors. More terrifying, but as fun as GET OUT. And what it says about our divided country also shows that @JordanPeele is a new master of suspense. The enemy is — and maybe always has been — us.
I’ll never listen to “Good Vibrations” the same way again. pic.twitter.com/WV7vUzmYOr
