BLU-RAY™ REVIEW:

Best known for his Comedy Central’s sketch show KEY & PEELE, Jordan Peele fashions a story about an interracial couple, Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and Rose (Allison Williams), who’ve reached the coveted meet-the-parents stage in their relationship. As a way to conquer that milestone, Rose invites Chris to a weekend getaway upstate with her folks, Missy (a haunting Catherine Keener) and Dean (Bradley Whitford).

Upon arrival, Chris reads Rose’s family’s eccentricity and overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their learning of their daughter dating a black man. However, as the weekend moves along, more happenings lead to something more frightening than Chris could have ever anticipated.

Peele has always had a talent for delving into societal truths. Just look at any skit he developed for his popular series. Whether he’s exploring our tendencies to misinterpret text messages in this age of emoticons and abbreviations, or developing tactics for how black people can walk through white suburban neighborhoods (he takes this concept even further at the film’s opening), his amazing array of characters and strong points of view peel back the layers of tough topics with twisted irony. And GET OUT is no different.

Peele deftly juggles two different genres, keeping his audience in the dark about the true nature of this dysfunctional family visit. No need to moderate your expectations: GET OUT is a crowd-pleasing wonder.
