Overview
The film that made director Jordan Peele famous and won him the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, Get Out is worth every bit of the hype. Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), a photographer living in New York agrees to visit his girlfriend Rose’s (Alison Williams) parents for the first time upstate, despite his concern about how her white family will react to their interracial relationship. Though initially welcoming, strange things are afoot at their sequestered estate – Rose’s mother (Catherine Keener) is keen to use her hypnotherapy techniques to cure Chris of smoking, her father (Bradley Whitford) goes OTT trying to display his (lower-case) liberal politics, and her brother (Caleb Landry Jones) is a straight-up goddamn weirdo. To make it worse, the only other Black people who visit the property don’t seem quite right.
Why See This Film
Written and directed by comedian Jordan Peele of cult fave duo Key and Peele (Keanu), Get Out is a taut thriller with—thankfully—many relief-filled laffs in the mix. A super smart and stinging take on racism, otherness and the objectification of Black bodies, it draws on horror tropes to create something entirely new. You’ll note nods to classics of the genre like Night of the Living Dead, Rosemary’s Baby, andThe Stepford Wives.
