"#UsMovie is a super thrilling follow up for Jordan Peele. There are so many puzzle pieces to put together along the way. And of course, Lupita Nyong’o is an acting force. You haven’t seen anything quite like this. #sxsw," another critic said.

"#UsMovie just cemented Jordan Peele as the greatest horror mastermind of the decade. A terrifying, funny, smart, thoughtful movie with a phenomenal cast. Between this and Little Monsters, we are living in the year of Lupita Nyong’o!", another critic commented.
