In debut feature Get Out, Jordan Peele kept his focus tight on the nature of U.S. racism, but he has widened his cinematic subject scope with each successive feature. His heightened ambition hits hard in this sophomore effort, which turns Peele’s sharp eye toward the wider Western society and its complete disregard for anyone outside acceptable society. Doppelgängers, rabbits, summer towns, and references to C.H.U.D. abound, but I won’t spoil any more details for those who haven’t already seen the film. Just prepare for a thoughtful scare that lasts long after you’ve left the theatre. – James Scott
