As a filmgoer, rudimentary day-to-day politics is something you try to avoid. Someone with a lot of money thought: why not make a politically charged film out of its most contentious issues?
Get Out is one of the few movies you get everything you never wanted in one big 2 hour feature. Appalling acting, stupid plot, and despicable suggestions of casual racism underlining every discussion. Daniel Kaluuya’s humdrum and unemotional performance is awful, Allison Williams is equally ridiculous in her role, and the story remains stubbornly racial to the very end.
The directing is bad enough, but Get Out veers too closely to propaganda to be taken seriously; the political machines in its characters and tools are very plain. I’d spend another 3 paragraphs articulating, but most reasonable people would already know.
