Jordan Peele’s box office hit Get Out has left many talking since its release just two weeks ago. With a nearly perfect intermingling of horror, comedy and subtle blistering truths about the Black man’s experience in America, Peele definitely hit the nail on the head with this one.
The thriller is about a Black man’s weekend getaway to his White girlfriend’s parent’s estate. As the weekend progresses, things start to get weird after a series of disturbing occurrences leave him to believe that something isn’t quite right in their quite town.
In a review in The New Yorker, the film is described as one that successfully “lurks within the hearts of Blacks who must navigate white spaces.”
In fact, it’s one that a Cosmopolitan writer describes as “the terrifying truth about White women,” which refers to the appalling end of the film.
