Get Out's reviews
Media reviews
Time
Even though all self-proclaimed progressive people like to think we?re comfortable talking about racial divisions in America, we?re really not. And that?s what makes Get Out?in addition to being an unsettling, and occasionally very funny, thriller?pretty close to a work of genius.
The Hollywood Reporter
When the film moves out of the paranoiac realm and into action, the violence is deeply satisfying, the twists delightful.
Variety
Blending race-savvy satire with horror to especially potent effect, this bombshell social critique from first-time director Jordan Peele proves positively fearless ? which is not at all the same thing as scareless.
Screen Crush
It does what all great horror movies do: turn real-world anxieties into the stuff of nightmares.
Los Angeles Times
This is surely the nerviest, most confrontational treatment of race in America to emerge from a major studio in years, and it brilliantly fulfills the duty of both its chosen genres ? the horror-thriller and the social satire ? to meaningfully reflect a culture?s latent fears and anxieties.
Screen Daily
Retro horror and racial tension mix to surprisingly entertaining effect in Get Out.
Empire
To call it the most important movie of the year so far makes it sound possibly rather worthy. That?s not true at all. Get Out is a comment on a highly complex situation that?s also a total blast.
The Telegraph
The movie rattles with provocations.
Entertainment Weekly
Peele is undeniably a born filmmaker with big ambitions and an even bigger set of balls. He?s made a horror movie whose biggest jolts have nothing to do with blood or bodies, but rather with big ideas.
New York Post
It?s Peele?s first film, but it has none of the rough edges or self-indulgence you?d expect from a rookie.
Indiewire
If Get Out isn?t half as scary as the ideas that inspired it, Jordan Peele?s directorial debut is almost certain to be the boldest ? and most important ? studio genre release of the year.
