I’m set to rewatch Jordan Peele’s “Nope” this afternoon. I can’t say I’m ecstatic about it, but some readers here are pushing me to give it another shot.
What did I miss the first time around? It’s a considerably well-made and ambitious sci-fi epic with very strange pacing and probably one of the best UFO designs I’ve ever seen on-screen.
French critics seem enamoured by Peele’s film. “Nope” is being released in France today and the AlloCine score is a very impressive, 4.2 with 19 critics already counted.
“Nope” is set to cross $100 million domestically this week, it’s Peele’s third film in a row to attain that mark, albeit, it likely won’t come close to the $175 million both “Get Out” and “Us” amassed.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
