Get Out

RMysteryThrillerHorror76

Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parents for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

February 24, 2017 · Directed by Jordan Peele

What's been said

Viewers and critics overwhelmingly embraced Get Out as a landmark debut, with the film receiving near-universal acclaim from professional critics and strong enthusiasm from general audiences. The most praised elements were Jordan Peele's razor-sharp screenplay and Daniel Kaluuya's lead performance, with critics lauding the film's ability to fuse genuine horror, dark comedy, and incisive racial satire into a seamless whole. The most common complaint, shared by both critics and some viewers, was that the third act loses some of its satirical sophistication as it shifts into more conventional thriller territory, with a few finding the ending tonally jarring or formulaic. Notably, the film won Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards, was later ranked the greatest screenplay of the 21st century by the Writers Guild of America, and grossed $259.9 million against a $4.5 million budget.
