It’s unusual for a first-time director to receive this kind of reaction. Jordan Peele both wrote and directed the film, and it evokes the feel of mystery thrillers from the nineties. It's something fans of films from the eighties and nineties should definitely check out. At times, it seemed like a black comedy, but that wasn’t apparently what they were aiming for. Certain scenes, particularly those with the teacup and some of the close-up shots, are unsettling yet also quite humorous. The film centers on an interracial relationship. Chris goes to meet his girlfriend's family in their home outside of town, and initially everything seems normal. He’s uncertain about how her parents will react to him being black. Things start to shift after a series of odd occurrences. The rest of the story explains what is happening and how he deals with it. The acting is excellent, and the plot keeps you on edge. You might think you know what's coming next, but you’ll be mistaken, and when the surprises arrive, they seem obvious in retrospect. It’s a popular film right now, and if it had been released twenty years ago, it would have undoubtedly become a cult classic—and in some ways, it already is. I initially assumed that after its release, the movie would quickly be forgotten. It's not typical for a film with an unknown director, supporting cast, and low budget to gain this much attention. I was completely entertained; it lived up to expectations. However, I’ve noticed some people are excessively enthusiastic about it. If you aren't deeply involved in movies, then you’ll likely find it enjoyable, but for those who appreciate film, it’s a solid choice and one of the best this year. _7/10_
