Us is a true genre flick, polished to a fine degree, a pure distillation of the essence of horror cinema.

A vibrant, appealing screen presence, Nyong’o brings a tremendous range and depth of feeling to both characters, who she individualizes with such clarity and lapidary detail that they aren’t just distinct beings; they feel as if they were being inhabited by different actors.

A fantastic film that must be watched more than once. If you don't like this film: you don't understand why it was made and what it symbolizes

Peele is this generation’s Hitchcock, for sure, but also a true American original with introspective themes in hand and suspense to spare.

Perhaps Us stumbles near the end while straining for an operatic, shattering finale that explains everything that preceded it but, after capturing the zeitgeist his first time out, Peele avoids the sophomore slump by methodically laying out his riveting tale.

Us is more expansive and messier, a Rorschach blot of a movie, riffing on primal fears and a raft of ’80s references. Is it a pointed cultural take or just a gleeful scare-fest? It depends on what you choose to take from it.

Terrifying...The less you know going in — and the less energy you spend thinking about it after the fact — the better the movie works, trading on some uncanny combination of Peele’s imagination and our own to suggest a horror infinitely larger and more insidious than the film is capable of representing.

It pains me to say this. I spent a good deal of Us straining to like it, to get on its slightly preening wavelength, to be nourished by its heady stew of tropes. I couldn’t get there, though. As loaded up on stuff as Us is, there’s not enough to grab onto; it’s an alienating idea piece that lumbers away just as it’s about to reveal its true nature.

This movie is incredible, it bothers me that people criticize it too much just because they weren't scared ... I mean, did they expect Jump Scares all the time or what?

"Us" is a good horror film, albeit not a brilliant one. It lacks the convincing hopelessness that the doom evoked by the "Reds" evokes. Although the acting, particularly that of Lupida Nyong'o, is convincing, the film is predictable and drifts somewhat into a bloodthirsty zombie spectacle. Therefore, it doesn't quite do justice to the well-intentioned story of presenting people with their own self as a mirror image. Furthermore, the resolution of the storyline at the end somewhat lacks logic.

I liked this movie for the wrong reasons. This was hilarious but it was supposed to be serious. As a horror, it wasn't scary, and was mostly just mindless gore and killing. Most of the movie was pretty funny, and the twist at the end was kind of interesting. But, other than that, nothing else was really that good. So, 6/10

Objectively a bad movie full of plot holes. This is another one of those films that you’re supposed to like more than I actually do. I watched when it originally came out and just recently got the nerve to stomach a second attempt… oof still bad. Hopefully Nope will be better, but I’m getting similar vibes tbh.
