I guess I was slightly disappointed but I had pretty high expectations. I'll have more thoughts after I've slept on it.

I had fun. The movie looks beautiful and i liked the framing and camera work. My biggest disappointment was with the horror factor. It wasnt scary at all.

It reminded me a lot of Get Out in that way. It was more of a suspense/thriller.

This is excellent news for me, since I have zero expectations of it being scary. That's not at all why I'm interested in the film. Can't wait to check it out.

I did wanted more horror. But it was fine...it looks great, the production design is beautiful and Peele sure knows how to frame things. And if you embrace how bonkers it is, its a more fun ride.
Lupita´s greatest performance for sure.

Spoiler: show
her face at the end looking at her son...damn

Yeah, this was a disappointment. He would have been better off either pouring on the allegory or having none at all. As it is, it just seemed half-assed and kinda derailed the movie.

Spoiler: show
The twist at the end was stupid.

Peele really needs to stop cutting away right in the middle of his movies’ big suspense climax scenes...like why would you deflate them like that, it makes no sense
