So uncomfortable to watch, yet I am glued to the screen. A masterpiece of cinema to be discussed for a long time.
– Daniel H. Rowe
Cons: The writing/ dialogue was commercially colloquial, the typical comedy took a little away from the film (not much though).
Pros: Eerily uncomfortable. The premise was so strange and weird, that it entertained and left the mind with much to think about; what is the sunken place really?
The comedy did also create a branch of the film that made it unique. The cinematography accentuated the details of the characters perfectly. The camera movement was executed superbly, with scenes like ‘the sunken place’ creating a unique cinematic experience. It was somewhat old-fashioned, yet felt as though Chris was trying to ‘get out’ of the ‘sunken place’.
Kaluuya brought a sympathetic magnetism as we felt the horror of what was happening.
This is without a doubt one of Jordan Peele’s finest peaces of work.
