Viewing Notes

Wasn’t blown away but I did think it was quite good. I had the same reaction to GET OUT so I expected I’d feel similarly about US. It’s great to see a black family portrayed as a normal, every day suburban family and I can appreciate the cultural significance of that. Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke are great in the lead roles, but Nyong’o really carries the film with her excellent performance(s).
