Us (2019)Directed by Jordan PeeleI was looking forward to watch @jordanpeele's second feature, "Us", after his extremely strong debut "Get Out" (which I rewatched on @netflix_in the previous day). It's on my Anticipated Movies artwork, which I got printed on a t-shirt – I brought that to office on Thursday and wore it for the movie. I was glad that "Us" got released in theatres here.The movie as you could make out from the trailers is about the Wilson family going to Santa Cruz beach for a vacation, where they encounter strange doppelgangers of themselves, who are apparently out to do them harm. "Us" is an extremely well made horror thriller. It has got great cinematography (by Michael Gioulakis – cinematographer for "It Follows" and "Glass"), a standout music score by Michael Abels – it's his second movie score, after "Get Out", and what unnerving music it is, fantastic acting (Lupita Nyong'o is in particular amazing), and well crafted suspense scenes. The criticism I had about "Us" was that when the movie gave us explanations as to what was going on, it seemed too out-there to be plausible, and it raised many questions to which there weren't satisfactory answers in my opinion. But, like many other great movies, it makes you think and you certainly won't forget it after leaving the theatre. "Get Out" also, for me, worked better the second time, so I should watch this movie again. At any rate, one should appreciate it's originality. Overall I liked the movie and would definitely recommend it.I drew Lupita Nyong'o as "Red" (the doppelganger of Adelaide) from the movie, the drawing was done with Bic ballpoint pen and Gelly Roll pen on A6 @Brustro sketchbook and scanned.#dailymoviesketch #usmovie #us #jordanpeele #lupitanyongo #red #adelaide #tethered #doppelganger#ballpointpen #inksketch#432 / 29-Mar-19
