Jordan Peele's 'Us' Is Being Called a 'Horror Masterpiece' in First Reviews!
It looks like Jordan Peele has another massive hit on the way as his movie Us is getting rave reviews in the first reviews following the SXSW premiere.
The premiere was held on Friday night and the full cast stepped out for interviews on Saturday (March 9) in Austin, Tex.
Jordan was joined by Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Shahadi Wright Joseph, and Evan Alex. They stopped by the Comcast NBCUniversal House and the #TwitterHouse.
In the first reviews of the film, Us is being hailed as a “modern masterpiece” and Peele is being compared to a modern-day Hitchcock. Critics are saying it’s one of those movies that you’ll want to see over and over to unlock all the mysteries.
Jordan Peele's "Us" is a horror masterpiece. We are witnessing the birth of our modern day Hitchcock. 20 years from now we will ask one another what our favorite Peele film is & you will get 10/12 different answers. Incredible performance from Lupita Nyong'o! #UsMovie #UsFirst pic.twitter.com/vvHunYqSxd

#SXSW: @JordanPeele’s #USmovie frays your nerves with exacting precision, ambitious original ideas, and moments that will traumatize (in… the best way, as great genre films do?) a whole generation of youngs who sneak in to see it. ✂️ Also: Lupita. Is. INCREDIBLE. pic.twitter.com/bdM5EwI0bW

#UsMovie is a heck of an experience. Funny enough to make you laugh, scary enough to make you scream, genuinely heartbreaking in moments, anchored by several incredible dual performances, especially Lupita’s. #SXSW
