A friend of mine on Facebook mentioned Septober which amused me but is basically right. Peele's Us (2019) is a title on my radar. I picked up the Blu, regretting (now most definitely) not seeing it in the theater. Unpacking it in a write-up at 11:36 at night is a tall task, but I really will hold off until I revisit Mirror Image Tuesday afternoon.


But seeing this before Get Out really just has me giddy will excitement now. The doppelganger idea is quite directed to the hilt by Peele who never elaborates completely on the creation of the tethered "copies" visually, leaving us to chewing on all of the revelations, particularly of Zora and her "doppelganger". That twist was primo clever, and the tragedy of it left much for us also to consider.
