There’s so much of a richness to Us in terms of both symbolism and superbly-crafted sequences that it almost offers too much for just one film. Indeed, the fact that Jordan Peele was able to corral them in so effectively is a real feat in itself.

With Us, Peele has created a perfect companion piece that nevertheless feels totally distinct from his feature debut.

Us manages to be funny, freaky, and thrilling all at once, and marks another step forward in Peele's evolving sense of storytelling and craftsmanship. Read more

Us is a wild ride bolstered by Peele’s vision and a crucial ensemble cast. Lupita Nyong’o, in particular, gives a flooring performance that provides both an emotional current and a ceaselessly unsettling atmosphere. Additional noteworthy nodes in this horror romp: cinematographer Mike Gioulakis and composer Michael Abels. Read more

Its well-selected soundtrack, convincing performances by Elisabeth Moss and Lupita Nyong'o, and the intelligent approach of Jordan Peele help Us to climb higher in the hall of horror cinema. Read more

Us is bloody brilliant but it didn’t reach the level of greatness of Get Out as a complete package. As a visually sublime mind assault it is one of the best films of the year but there was more lacking in Peele’s second horror outing.

Us may not be as cohesive as Get Out, but it is still an incredibly well made, terrifyingly scary and deeply meaningful piece of cinema that cements Peele as an auteur. Read more

Even with some over-the-top extravagance popping up here and there, the inventive script definitely puts Peele among the greats of the genre. Read more

It is effective in spots, but taking the film at face value rather than trying to read the subtext reveals an uneven experience that benefits more from its comic relief than it does its explorations of terror. Read more

The manipulation is high, but it never feels cheap, overwrought, or hard-won. Read more

Like many of today's genre filmmakers, Peele could benefit from a co-writer to help iron out his storytelling. He's in danger of becoming the next M. Night Shyamalan, a horror auteur whose ingenious concepts fail to fit organically into his movies. Read more

It just didn’t make any sense at all, and that’s a real shame for a movie that had such wonderful dialog, acting, and cinematography. It was not anywhere near as good as Get Out. Read more

The acting and direction keep its proverbial head above water. The story, though, just isn’t good. It’s an interesting idea but is poorly executed and explored by its creator. Read more

Though it’s always refreshing to see a writer-director with such ambitious visions, and Lupita Nyong’o is great in the complicated central role, the film ultimately falls foul to its own convoluted high-concept, sending Peele into a sophomore slump. Read more

Us is niet de eerste film die dat thema verbindt aan horror, maar Peele heeft wederom een origineel stukje griezelcinema neergezet. Voor iedere liefhebber van psychologische horror is Us een must-see. Read more

Opnieuw een rake horrorfilm van Jordan Peele, welke weinig onderdoet voor zijn sterke debuut. Net als in Get Out weet Peele hier een intelligente horrorfilm te presenteren, die hij weet te combineren met enkele maatschappelijke boodschappen. Read more

Jordan Peele houdt de juiste balans tussen spanning, emotie en inhoud, waardoor Us, net als Get Out, een aangrijpende bioscoopervaring wordt. Read more

De twists, het duistere karakter en sterke soundtrack maken de film en zo levert Jordan Peele wederom een sterke horror/thriller af. Read more

Met Us levert Jordan Peele eindelijk wat we verwachten van de man. Us is dan ook een stuk beter als zijn voorganger Get Out. Read more

Het bizarre plot en de oneven mix van horror/komedie maakt Us minder effectief dan zijn voorganger. Desondanks levert Jordan Peele wederom een spannende bioscoopervaring af met genoeg diepgang om na afloop over te discussiëren. Read more

Het feit dat de film voor mij niet voor de volle 100% werkte, heeft wellicht te maken met het feit dat ik de ontknoping al van ver had zien aankomen. Maar los daarvan heb ik toch intens genoten van deze bij moment razend spannende horrorfilm. Jordan Peele bewijst dat hij zijn Oscar meer dan waard was. Read more

Ook het verhaal steekt goed in elkaar en de interessante plotwending komt als een donderslag bij heldere hemel.

Uiteindelijk een fantastisch concept waarvan de uitvoering matig is. De regie door Jordan Peele is goed gedaan, maar aan het script kon nog wel gewerkt worden. Read more

Maar voornamelijk zijn het de acteerprestaties van de vier hoofdrolspelers. Briljant hoe ze zichzelf en hun tegenpolen spelen. Read more
