- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Review
- Chris Barsanti @ Slant Magazine
- Excerpt: The film’s fantastical meta-commentaries don’t completely cohere but have a winning go-for-it audaciousness.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Nope might be Jordan Peele’s weakest film, but his act for unnerving tension is enough to consider his dip into a sci-fi thriller enjoyably ambitious.
- Travis Burgess @ The Sacred Wall
- Excerpt: Nope’ is exactly what you want in a summer blockbuster
- Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: Will beguile, amuse, and occasionally offer a genuine jump-and-scare moment.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: “Get Out” writer/director Jordan Peele creates one masterfully shot and edited horror flashback in his latest, but overall the filmmaker’s ambition has exceeded his grasp here.
- Candice Frederick @ HuffPost
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Jordan Peele creatively blends science fiction and horror into something entirely new and innovative.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: There are delicious popcorn-movie vibes and horrors galore, both funny-suspenseful and stone-cold bone-chilling. But most intriguing is the twistiness of how the movie grapples with its own existence.
- Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: Ultimately NOPE is a disappointment, inscrutable and incoherent.
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Nope is a truly horrifying spectacle and Jordan Peele’s best-made movie! With a killer cast and gorgeous cinematography this film deserves multiple watches on the biggest screen possible.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Nope is Close Encounters of the Third Kind for the 21st century.
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: How we present ourselves and how we are perceived is core to this story, going back to Emerald’s diversion in what is supposed to be a safety briefing to a description of her ancestor, the jockey in the prototype for moving images, where the horse’s name was identified but not the name of the human riding him.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: It’s an exhilarating and fun ride as a result. Maybe more superficial than you’d expect from a Peele film, but no less complex in its characterizations.
- [New] | C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: Beneath the interesting and strange tale of aliens and UAPs is Peele shining a bright light from the sky onto Hollywood and American pop culture’s exploitation of Black people and animals.
- Eddie Pasa @ Gunaxin
- Joao Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: After the highly praised “Get Out” and the enigmatic but less popular “Us”, Jordan Peele presents his third feature film as director. Like the previous two, Peele deliver us a differentiated sci-fi film that plays with the bizarre and that reminds us of the eccentric stories of the “Twilight Zone”.
- Diego Salgado @ SoFilm [Spanish]
- Josh Thayer (formerly Taylor) @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: Nope is fun for a few laughs and jarring scares, but the feel of cultural phenomenon that was present in Get Out and – to a slightly lesser degree – Us is missing this time out.
- James Wegg @ JWR
- Excerpt: Don’t look up
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Lens
