Something random I just noticed (unless I'm being racist), Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke applauding Peele in the front row:  I was clicking the play button cause thought there was more to your post. Not sure how that is being racist.  Just said that because I wasn't 100% sure that it's Nyong'o and Duke. I just posted it because i thought it was a nice little connection. |

That is a seriously nifty poster.
This is without a doubt one of my most anticipated of 2019 and thankfully it isn't 7 months away like It: Chapter Two, which is probably my other most anticipated at the moment.

Getting preeeetty positive reviews from its SXSW premiere so far, here are some of them: IndieWire: Invites us to think Funny Games + Cronenberg body horror + Hitchcock suspense (A-) THR: Calls it "an often terrifying thriller," even funnier than Get Out though harder to read allegorically AV Club: It's "thrilling, creepy, and kind of mess," says it's both ambitious and unwieldy like many sophomore efforts (B) Variety: Those who didn't find Get Out scary probably won't have that complaint here ... though it also might be better not thought about afterwards 100% on RT from 10 reviews so far, 79 on Metacritic from (those) four, and apparently met with enthusiastic reception from SXSW audience. |

This would be me ...........I don't know anyone who really found it scary tbh so that's the kind of stuff I'm looking for in these early reviews. |

Lupita is getting raves. I think she's in. Us feels bigger than Hereditary and is likely to stay in the conversation longer with a bigger box office and with Peele coming off an Oscar win.

It's fucking March. Can we, just, please only think about this as a film for now and not as a product for awards shows? |

You came from a board called Oscar Buzz, that changed to Movie Awards, that became Movie Awards Redux. |

So why does metacritic use that weird Canadian grading system? In what logical world is a B- a 67?
This isn’t Us specific but I never understood it.

Makes more sense for the scaling of movie reviews, where an 8/10 is a very positive review but in school an 80% is just barely enough to get above the "average" grade of a C. |

 Okay, here’s the deal. I respect any person or critics opinion that differs from the overwhelming majority. I didn’t like Cold War, so I’ve been there. This review though, that broke the perfect 100... listen, I knew the score would drop, it always does unless you’re Paddington 2 and it happened with Get Out as well. But this review, just the blurb alone is complete and utter trash. I mean really. If you’re throwing in that many hyper-vocabulary words into a sentence to the point where the normal person can’t even read what you’re trying to say, what kind of critic are you? You’re supposed to persuade people on your opinion, how is anybody supposed to mentally grasp what this sentence even means? I’ve read it like 20 times and each time I get a brain cramp. And I’m not stupid. This is clearly someone who didn’t like it, but wanted to sound “better” and “smarter” than the average critic to proof his point. There’s no way he didn’t use a thesaurus for this review. |

As best I can translate, “Us loses the spirit of its predecessor’s merging of genres, regressing into a one-note exercise in safe sameness.” If not, then hell if I know. I’m not above looking up words to sound fancy and get my definitions right, but “Monody”? What the f- |

This reads exactly like the review that broke Lady Bird's 100% score, which basically said "nice movie, but it doesn't deserve a 100% fresh score, so I'm rating it as a 5/10". This kind of thing really makes me wonder if Rotten Tomatoes could be destroying film criticism. |
