does that movie have so many bad reviews??!


That shit was great.


Or *at least* as good as Get Out, and kinda the same style thriller.


Like... I'm reading some of these takedowns and it's basically like.. do people not understand white supremacy's transcendance across time and space is what's so unnerving???

Pretty sure that's the fucking point. In fact, some of the most mundane scenes made me squirm the most - in part bc of how relatable those tensions are (although I concede not for everyone).



Were there some heavy-handed parts? Sure I guess. But they only emphasized age-old tensions of our time which, tbh, rendered them quite satisfying.



Posting to gather other thoughts/see if anyone else has gotten around to watching... but also to encourage anyone who may have passed due to bad reviews to give it a shot.

Definitely worth watching, *especially* if you liked Get Out, Us, and any other thrillers that dig into intersectional themes wrt race, gender, class etc
