The Critics Ruined “Us”
Jordan Peele's "Get Out" was a masterpiece. "Us" is a tedious drag tailored to the sensibilities of critics.

I get the message that we’re all supposed to love the movie Us. It’s writer-director Jordan Peele’s second film after his sensational debut Get Out. He’s very talented, and we’re all pulling for him.
Social media is pinging with tributes to the film’s greatness. The film’s opening weekend box-office crushed it.
And critics are going wild trying to come up with more fulsome adjectives to describe the film’s brilliance. Richard Brody of the New Yorker says “Us is nothing short of a colossal achievement.”
