US is a horror thriller in which a family is terrorised by their doppelgangers while on holiday.
Peele’s follow-up to Get Out is a superb doppelganger satire of the American dream, with Lupita Nyong’o delivering a magnificent performance.
It all comes together nicely for a vividly realised nightmare that combines the classiest of production values with a whole heap of crazy.
Peele doubles down on his genre love with a flawed but full-bore frightener, ripe for debate. Nyong’o is incendiary.
A stunning sophomore effort from Jordan Peele. Get in.
The film's confusion adds to the mounting sense of unease that Peele induces in his audience.
A viscerally terrifying and often hilarious thrill-ride, even if the seams begin to show in the final act.
The Get Out writer-director splices sociopolitical satire with clever, full-blooded chills.
