First of all I'd like to say i really enjoyed the film. It was very scary and the audience had a great time. It was very well directed and the acting, in particular Lupita N'yongo was great. With that said my read on the film is that it's actually not about anything. I honestly think it's like those Beatles songs like "I am the Walrus" which they wrote and recorded as a joke knowing that critics would ponder what it all means. The fact that Jordan Peele emphasized that its a "horror movie" instead of a "social thriller" i think speaks to that. The use of something as stupid as "Hands Across America" as a motif and the decision to include a white family without creating any obvious racial tension i think are ways to get people to wax philosophical about nothing. One of the unfortunate things about the reception of African American filmmakers is that there is often an attempt to ignore how their films work as cinema and instead focus on the political messages. If you look at the reviews of Get Out and also something like 12 Years a Slave, it's very obvious. Peele unfortunately isn't going to be discussed as a director in the same way as people like Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski are simply because critics expect something different from him. Hopefully this films encourages people to rethink that.
