I found Nope to be a compelling analysis of our relationship with entertainment and addiction to spectacle.

| Jan 18, 2025

This may be Peele鈥檚 version of a summer blockbuster, but it goes well beyond popcorn entertainment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 16, 2025

Nope is jam-packed with allegories, messages, and tension-filled moments, but does it arrange all of those coherently without feeling overinflated? Nope.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 6, 2025

I can’t confidently say that everything works, but most of Peele’s latest feels as experimental and creative as it is simple and fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2024

With unflinching dexterity, Peele and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema juxtapose the terror of encountering a being from beyond with one of the most claustrophobic scenes ever caught on film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 20, 2024

Nope‘s combination of stellar acting, incredible cinematography and awesome sound design makes this a cinematic experience that’s out of this world.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 15, 2024

Jordan Peele crafted an impressively well-crafted sci-fi flick that while it displays clear homage to classics, feels unlike anything we’ve seen before it.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 12, 2024

Nope is simply put one of the year's best films

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 4, 2024

Jordan Peele鈥檚 mind is astonishing. He takes such large concepts and layers them upon each other, building out a metaphorical journey that only deepens with each viewing.

| Jul 3, 2024

“Nope” is really a story about the underdogs in showbiz trying to survive instead of getting out, but Peele pulls punches when it comes to showing how demented they are in that pursuit.

| Jun 9, 2024

The supporting players work together in ways that show Peele鈥檚 prowess, not only as a visual filmmaker, but as one who casts well and trusts his actors. Nope is a wild ride, and one I can鈥檛 wait to take again.

Jordan Peele鈥檚 third film captures the terrible beauty of our endless fascination with events no matter how horrific.

| Oct 4, 2023

Nope, Peele’s third directorial outing, may debut in the horror genre, but there’s more to the brilliant film than audiences’ expectations.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Sep 7, 2023

More stylish than substantial.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2023

I love all of Jordan's movies so far, but this one might be my favorite just because there's so much to unpack. Every time I think about it I find more things that I need to talk about and it's the gift that keeps giving.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 14, 2023

It's a very layered movie, lot of themes on Hollywood and how it uses people and kinda chews them up and spits them out - figuratively. He [Jordan Peele] is probably one of our best directors today.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 10, 2023

The failure of Nope is partly because of Peele's lack of restraint in terms of mangling together mismatched ideas.

| Original Score: C | Aug 9, 2023

Although the vision is stronger than the pen this time around, the Spielberg-esque scope is all-embracing, and his craftiness in the individual horror/sci-fi set pieces is utterly remarkable.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 29, 2023

As with his previous films, Peele wears his inspirations on his sleeve. This time around he mines heavily from two Spielberg classics, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Jaws.

| Jul 26, 2023

Jordan Peele takes full advantage of Hoyte van Hoytema's phenomenal cinematography and Michael Abels' memorable score to create a spectacle worthy of the big screen, but it's the sound production that really elevates the movie to that level.

| Original Score: B | Jul 25, 2023
