Us (HBO)
As a follow-up to his acclaimed, award-winning directorial debut, Get Out, Jordan Peele’s sophomore feature, Us, didn’t get quite as much attention and notice as his first movie, which is a shame because it’s possibly just as good (and possibly even better) than the movie he made prior. Centered on a Californian family who finds their vacation disturbed by a creepy, mysterious group of doppelgängers of themselves, known as the tethered, Us is a layered, compelling look at classicism and marginalization, as well as the unspoken divides found throughout a nation that prides itself on prosperity. There is more going on, of course, but a lot of these themes echo throughout Parasite. If you haven’t had a chance to check out Us, watch it on HBO.
