Hey, am I doing something wrong here? Aren't there some threads here about Nope? I can't find any. I could swear I've seen people talking about it here. Maybe we have talked about it on a thread about other Jordan Peele movies. Hmmm.
Well, I will come back and say more about it later today, but just for the moment I wanted to mention that if you like Nope, you might also enjoy the less well-known Monsters (2010), starring Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able. I shouldn't say too much about why Nope reminds me of it... just make a mental note.
Anyway, just to say something briefly about Nope: I pretty much liked it, but I'm wondering if JP bit off a little more than he could chew with this one. I felt like he was trying to do a whole bunch of things with this movie, and make tons of statements. I am not sure they all hung together in an ideal way. It is much more likely, of course, that he did everything perfectly, PERFECTLY, in fact, UNPRECEDENTEDLY PERFECTLY, and I personally am just incapable of understanding what a brilliant achievement Nope is.
