Great review, Ben! You gave me some things to appreciate more about this one, and made me appreciate Peele even more (as if that was possible). I REALLY like 90% of Us, but it lost me with the ending. I’m excited to give it a third go, though! Btw I found myself nodding as you compared Peele and Aster in their sophomore freedom! (I love Midsommar SO much).
They’re definitely on similar trajectories! As much as I wanted to love both of their third movies, they missed the mark for me. Nope does have more redeeming value, though.
Thrilled I could inspire a rewatch! And hope it lands better this time around!

I liked Nope but only saw it once. Nothing really pulling me back to that one, but the characters are cool imo!
I’m also relieved that you didn’t care for Beau is Afraid. I would be very wary of anyone who likes that film haha
