Get Out

Black photographer Chris visits the family estate of his white girlfriend for a weekend and immediately senses something wrong beneath the performative liberalism of her parents and their friends. As the weekend progresses the source of his unease gradually and horrifyingly reveals itself. Jordan Peele’s debut is a masterpiece of sustained dread and social commentary using horror mechanics to examine the specific terror of Black people in white liberal spaces. Daniel Kaluuya’s performance — expressing enormous distress through eyes alone in one devastating scene — is the emotional center of a film that cannot be unseen.
