GET OUT
Jordan Peele’s directorial debut made the term “social thriller” hip again. With Get Out the social topic de jour is race. Peele, though most known for his comedy with collaborator Keegan Michael-Key (Comedy Central’s “Key & Peele”), Get Out offers a smattering of laughs but for the most part is a horror flick. Peele is tact when presenting race relations until things become unhinged during the last act as Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener, playing parents who are more than a little over-accommodating to their daughter’s new boyfriend, Chris, who is a black man.
