The breakout film for comedian turned filmmaker, 2017's "Get Out" is a brilliantly written and directed thriller that delivers a much needed social commentary on race relations in America while depicting the deep rooted fears Black people endure amongst a White society. The film takes creative liberties by over exaggerating the fear our main protagonist feels by putting him in an extraordinary scenario, with Daniel Kaluuya shining bright in his breakout role as Chris Washington, but through that lens the film addresses themes of racism, personal demons, suburban paranoia, and the dark aspects of elitist rich Americans. The Armitage family presents one of the scariest horror movie antagonists of the century with Allison Williams, Caleb Landry Jones, Catherine Keener, and Bradley Whitford all delivering stellar performances that are just sincere enough to make you buy them as just your average family with weird tendencies but unsettling enough to know that darkness lies beneath the surface, and Lil Rel Howery gives us the perfect comedy relief as he voices everything the audience feels and thinks of the situation that we can't directly communicate to the main character. The cherry on top is an Oscar-winning script with so much detail and nuance that multiple viewings highlight how meticulous the screenplay is, and the finale is truly one for the ages.
