After being debuted via SXSW’s coveted opening premiere slot, film reviewers were finally given the chance to lay their eyes upon the latest Jordan Peele film, something that has been highly-anticipated since his last hit, ‘Get Out’, made its way to cinemas.
As for what the response was, critics appear to have repeated their praise from his first success, stating that the movie is yet another genre-redefining, completely terrifying, “horror masterpiece.”
Specifically, the majority of viewers in Austin agreed that Jordan Peele has yet again shown his incredible ability to direct, something that when paired with Lupita Nyong’o’s amazing performance, has created a film that you have to watch.
Jordan Peele's "Us" is a horror masterpiece. We are witnessing the birth of our modern day Hitchcock. 20 years from now we will ask one another what our favorite Peele film is & you will get 10/12 different answers. Incredible performance from Lupita Nyong'o! #UsMovie #UsFirst pic.twitter.com/vvHunYqSxd
