If you\u2019ve seen <\/span>Us,<\/span><\/i> the sophomore directorial effort from Jordan Peele, you know that you haven\u2019t really seen <\/span>Us <\/span><\/i>until you\u2019ve seen it more than once. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike the complex-yet-accessible themes of <\/span>Get Out<\/span><\/i>, Peele\u2019s thrilling and thought-provoking directorial debut, <\/span>Us <\/span><\/i>is not interested in providing its audience with straightforward answers, taking a more psychoanalytical approach of answering all our questions with questions. Dig into the film\u2019s layers, and you\u2019ll only find more layers. This is a film about introspection, and about — quite literally — looking into your own eyes and facing down the worst aspects of yourself. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
