Imagine a realm of darkness all the time, where vision is always illusory, and the ground doesn’t stop to move.

I don’t do these often anymore for lack of time, and perhaps this one has no need of my take. However, Nope could easily be Jordan Peele’s best film yet. It was well acted, excellently scored and just as cinematically thrilling as Get Out. And if not, then more so.… Continue reading
