Plot: Two siblings with very opposing personalities jump on an "otherworldly" opportunity in a bid to save their family's legacy and make a place for themselves outside of their father's shadow.
Jordan Peele's third directorial effort proves to be another engaging and refreshing exercise in the genre. Armed with unique approach to a subject that audiences might feel fluent in, Peele manages to misdirect just enough to keep the viewer guessing as to what might really be going on. Packing some strong performances, something of a Tarantino-esque vibe, some gorgeous shot composition, and some tense horror set pieces, "Nope" makes an indelible impression. Everything comes together for a satisfying pay off and a redefining approach to a sci-fi/horror staple subject. As with every Peele movie, there is some social thematics at play. "Nope" questions the moral and ethical issues that surround the pursuit of fame, our morose obsession with spectacle, and the dangerous roads our inability to abstain from those pursuits might take us down.
