Jordan Peele

Candyman (2021)

When this movie started, I was all set to give it four stars just for the understated credits sequence and the foggy Chicago skyline angles. But by the end I couldn’t quite bring myself to rate it so highly.

Get Out (2017)

I like this one a lot. It has so many familiar faces who are all fantastic. It has the perfect score. It’s well-directed and well-paced.

Nope (2022)

Okay, this proves you don’t have to be a short movie for me to like you. Just don’t fill the minutes with drawn-out slow sequences, I guess?

I am kind of glad I waited until now to watch this movie, and also glad that I managed to basically avoid spoilers beforehand?

Us (2019)

I struggle a bit on rating this one. It has all these fantastic elements of a really good horror movie - a stellar cast, an understated and well-placed score, a unique and interesting premise, and yet…for me it’s just too. long.
