Review: Get Out (2017)

Besides the obvious creative genius of Jordan Peele, the entire cast made Get Out unbelievably good, especially Daniel Kaluuya as the quiet & reserved guy trying to make the best of an uncomfortable situation--constantly on edge like a skittish deer surrounded by hungry wolves in ill-fitting sheep's clothing, and Catherine Keener [who I LOVE], Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones [who is also great in Twin Peaks, amirite?!], and even though Lakeith Stanfield was only on screen for maybe less than 10 minutes total, he stole the scene every time, and Allison Williams nailed the condescending, sarcastic white girl with the upbeat tone & insincere million dollar smile masking her scathing intent, I hated her character from start to finish and that's a huge fucking compliment, oh! and LilRel Howery was a much-needed comedic relief, and Stephen Root was creepy as fuck!!! Everyone was great, and when I asked myself how in the hell was this movie made on such a small budget with the amount of talent on display, I answered myself with the realization that everyone involved probably read Peele's script and felt an obligation to bring it to life--Get Out is the blinding flash of a camera so many people desperately need.
