- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Emmanuel Báez @ Cinéfiloz [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Jordan Peele is the new master of social horror.
- Caio Bogoni @ Cine Grandiose [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: A strong beginning, a solid follow up and such a frustrating ending.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: US is a thoroughly entertaining philosophical thesis that is clever without being supercilious. Peele’s sense of fun is as much of an imperative as his commentary.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: this satire of the American dream, where those who get left behind simmer in murderous resentment, resembles one of those unwieldy Stephen King novels like “The Tommyknockers” or “Insomnia” where a good concept unravels and goes off the rails.
- Karl Delossantos @ Smash Cut Reviews
- Excerpt: Us is a terrifying follow-up to Jordan Peele’s masterpiece directorial debut Get Out and featured an Oscar-worthy dual performance by Lupita N’yongo.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: It’s not as tight as it could be, but where it lacks in efficiency, it more than makes up for in ideas, scares, and Lupita Nyong’o’s brilliant performance.
- M. Enois Duarte @ High-DefDigest.com
- Excerpt: In his sophomoric follow-up to Get Out, Jordan Peele, once again, surprises with another darkly twisted psychological thriller in Us, a horror allegory with pressing social commentary and thought-provoking ideas that’ll have viewers discussing long after the scares are over.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Candice Frederick @ Harper’s Bazaar
- Roderick Heath @ This Island Rod
- Excerpt: Peele suggests himself less the heir of the artists he pays homage to than as a more politically skewed but equally obvious M. Night Shyamalan.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Great cinema isn’t just about WHAT you say but HOW you say it.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: An anxious moan, a looming disquiet of a reckoning coming for America. This is horror as weird, funny, damning, and more disconcerting the more you think about it, finding fear right in front of us.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Breathlessly tense, spectacularly weird, and metaphorically rich, “Us” is like experiencing a lucid nightmare, a next-level, wildly envisioned work of twisted genius.
- [New] | Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Alan Mattli @ Facing the Bitter Truth
- Excerpt: At this point, it only seems like a matter of time before Jordan Peele is considered one of the best American filmmakers working today.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Stylish, scary, and substantive.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: a creepy, atmospheric, weird-as-balls doppelganger horror. There’s a lot to unpack, but I think I love the way Peele’s brain works. It’s also as relevant as Hands Across America has been or ever will be.
- Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
- Excerpt: When sketch comedy star Jordan Peele unveiled Get Out, his first film as a writer-director, we were ill-prepared. We had ample warning for his second, Us, and I was still shaken. By God, he’s done it again.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: By pitting doppelgängers against each other, [Peele] depicts our collective internal struggle. By tethering them together [they must] witness their decisions’ ramifications.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: With a proper handle on craft, Us is a well-oiled machine fueled by atmosphere, thrills, and surprise.
- Frank Ochieng @ SF Crowsnest
- Excerpt: The structured anxieties and tampering of normality, gives ‘Us’ its distinctive realm of descriptive cynicism and shock. Fittingly, Peele’s pet project brings a whole new definition to courting face-to-face double trouble.
- Jon Partridge @ Cinapse
- Excerpt: Us is a meticulously crafted slice of horror. Twisted and weird, but grounded by a finely built family dynamic. Some aspects of the film are sure to be polarizing, but it’s undeniable what a fresh and enthralling experience it is.
- Eddie Pasa @ Gunaxin
- Ruben Rigaud @ Cocalecas.net [Spanish]
- Diego Salgado @ Guía del Ocio [Spanish]
- Tusshar Sasi @ Filmy Sasi
- Don Shanahan @ Every Movie Has a Lesson
- Excerpt: One’s communal theater experience and entertainment value is addictively fed and your mind will race afterword, preserving the impact for even more internalization, compartmentalization, and surprise.
- Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: Jordan Peele’s expertly crafted horror tale is the first great movie of the year.
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Lens
