Peele’s follow-up to Get Out unnervingly speaks to the issues affecting a divided nation.

Jordan Peele was already a well-known comedian by the time he made his commercially and critically acclaimed directorial debut, Get Out. It was nominated for four Academy Awards, including best director and best picture while winning best original screenplay. Peele’s second film as a writer, director, and producer, Us, begs the question... does it live

Anthony Lane reviews Jordan Peele’s “Us,” starring Winston Duke and Lupita Nyong’o, and Nancy Schwartzman’s documentary “Roll Red Roll,” about a sexual assault in Steubenville, Ohio.

“Us” is a jumble of ideas, and they aren’t clear ideas. People…

The Get Out director’s new film is more complicated, more outrageous, and, in a lot of ways, more daringly funny and topical than its predecessor.

Us is another thrilling exploration of the past and oppression this country is still too afraid to bring up. Peele wants us to talk, and he’s given audiences the material to think, to feel our way through some of the darker sides of the human condition and the American experience.
