Nope

The score is great, it grips you so much when other parts of the film don't work.

The chemistry between Daniel kaluyaa and Keke Palmer is great and their bond is at the forefront of the film but outside of that all the other characters introduced are wait less and are really only to serve the goal the siblings have in mind which on the surface is not a problem until the characters are not that good.
The film also feels like it lacks any strong themes and I don't really know what it even tried to say.
Jordan peele is a good director i would say but his biggest issue is his thematic control over his films.
In get out it was pretty good but in us and nope I feel he's lacking.
I still kinda liked the film but it could have been better.

Keke Palmer's charisma is too much for this world.

I liked this a lot more on the rewatch. My favorite part is when Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun are yelling back and forth to each other, which doesn't sound that great when I type it out, but in reality it is very funny.

I wanted to love Nope, but I thought it was just fine. I was interested in the characters, but the plot didn't consistently hold my attention. I do love the cast though, so I think I should give this a rewatch sometime.

The sitcom scene with the chimpanzee was wild though.
