Get Out

A more than welcome yet uneasy visit

&apos;Get Out&apos; was very highly recommended by a friend, also a fellow film enthusiast, and the subject matter of the film really interested me. Add to that a very promising trailer, the award nominations and wins and mostly positive word of mouth (even with the very vocal detractors), and interest was higher.

High expectations were not only met but also exceeded. Apologies for the cliché, but to me that is the best way to sum up my personal experience watching &apos;Get Out&apos;. Can totally see why it was as well received as it was, though can also see why it has divided audiences on here. While it will never be one of my favourite films, &apos;Get Out&apos; is among the better films of 2017 and does live up to the hype.

It&apos;s an incredibly well-made film visually, with stylish and unsettling cinematography and editing and some disturbingly surreal imagery that adds to, and enhances, the unease and sense of dread. 

That the direction was done by a first-time director is a shock in itself, one of the most outstanding debut directing jobs seen in a long time by me. It&apos;s nostalgic in its embracing of contemporary and classic horror and also brave in the accomplished handling of the film&apos;s combative themes. 

Being somebody who considers music important when talking about it, the music looms suitably ominously and fits well. &apos;Get Out&apos; benefits from an extremely smart and clever script (though &apos;The Shape of Water&apos; and especially &apos;Lady Bird&apos; were worthier wins for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar in my view), that takes on a lot of elements and balances them adeptly and the individual elements handled very effectively. 

Despite how it sounds, &apos;Get Out&apos; struck me as more of a thriller with horror and comedic elements. It is highly successful on this front, with the thriller elements being taut, suspenseful and unsettling, the comedic ones being darkly funny and clever and the horror ones being imaginatively shocking and subtly uneasy. There is even some social commentary and interracial themes explored, and done thoughtfully and just about avoids preachiness while hitting hard still. 

While all the performances are very fine, it is Daniel Kaluuya&apos;s superb lead performance that burns in the memory the most. 

My only complaint of &apos;Get Out&apos; is the too pat and somewhat silly ending that felt tacked on and like it came out of a different film, to me it too ended on a tonally jarring and that&apos;s it note. 

Until then, the film was this close to being a masterpiece. So it was frustrating that it just missed out on that distinction. Nonetheless it&apos;s a great film that is among the year&apos;s better ones, brought down by an underwhelming ending. 9/10 Bethany Cox
