Peele seduces, subverts and manipulates audience expectations - as the masters Alfred Hitchcock, John Carpenter, and Stanley Kubrick did before him.

| Mar 31, 2020

This brilliantly provocative first feature from comic turned writer-director Jordan Peele proves that the best way to get satire to a mass audience is to call it horror.

Everything in Get Out seems innocuous on first blush.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 27, 2018

Kudos to Peele for tackling a painful subject in such a massively entertaining and thoroughly memorable fashion. [Full review in Japanese]

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 15, 2017

What makes [Get Out] a worthwhile experience is Jordan Peele's skillful genre intervention.

| Aug 10, 2017

It's a game-changer.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 5, 2017

[Director] Peele, who also scripted, is very good at writing barbed dialogue, and as the film proceeds the audience is likely to feel as uncomfortable as Chris.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 5, 2017

It's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner made over in the spirit of Rosemary's Baby, with accessories inspired by Meet the Fockers.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 3, 2017

Peele plays the suspense like a maestro wielding a Stradivarius - each tightly wound string used to create a sense of foreboding and anticipation that Hitchcock himself would've been jealous of.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 2, 2017

Jordan Peele's semi-parodic horror film Get Out has a complexity worthy of its historical moment.

| Mar 28, 2017

By focusing the storyline on a particular form of racism -- the kind that's often disguised as peculiar envy -- Get Out reveals something more insidious.

| Mar 27, 2017

Mostly [Peele] creates a lovely, off-kilter mood, riffing with tremendous visual poise on all sorts of classics, including Seconds, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and The Stepford Wives.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 27, 2017

Beneath the beatific smile of 21st-century liberalism, Get Out finds the still grinning ghoulish skull of age-old servitude and exploitation unveiled during a rollercoaster ride into a very American nightmare.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 19, 2017

Peele succeeds where sometimes even more experienced filmmakers fail: He's made an agile entertainment whose social and cultural observations are woven so tightly into the fabric that you're laughing even as you're thinking, and vice-versa.

| Mar 17, 2017

In a double whammy of satire, Get Out upends all the expected tropes of the horror movie and gives middle-class white liberals a thorough skewering.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 17, 2017

To call it the most important movie of the year so far makes it sound possibly rather worthy. That's not true at all. Get Out is a comment on a highly complex situation that's also a total blast.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2017

The most forceful and inventive American horror film since It Follows.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2017

The film has more to do with discomfort and envy than blind hatred. What a strange marvel it is.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 16, 2017

Is it too early to call this a modern genre classic?

| Mar 16, 2017

It's a brilliantly mischievous, unsettling movie.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 16, 2017
