Nope Review

Jordan Peele arrived with all his might to set the audience up for a eerie rollercoaster ride. He achieves that quite effectively with the eerie atmosphere he's able to build and film with those sequences in the night and by amplifying the top notch and smooth performances out of the lead actors. We're on the same boat as them, when the characters feel lost or couldn't find an explanation. And THAT leaves us wanting for more.

Another aspect of why this film worked so beautifully is that there were no fancy explanations or logic being clinged on the exposition of the central plot. It was plain, simple and impactful. It needs work at a cloud-9 level in presenting something so simple, yet needs every aspect at the best energy and Jordan Peele once again proved why he's the best in this genre. The CGI game was spot on from the starting point of the film. Everything was appropriately adequate in the movie. No unnecessary hit and trials were made to grab more than it could hold and that's why Nope is so plausible.

The brilliance of Nope lies in how it beautifully clouds the nail-biting  mystery and decodes it in the most astonishingly shocking way that none of us would see it coming. The characters are having the knowledge that  there's something, viewers can see it too, but can't just catch a glimpse of it yet. The way the characters make us tag along with them in trying to make out the thing was just commendable.

The original score was fabulous and eerie enough to stick you to your seat. Especially, the final segment where music takes the steering wheel, and the thrill and excitement it gives us was a pure carnival in itself. The editing was near perfect and the cinematography was enough to tell a story. The location for the film is a masterstroke.

The final act of the film is one of the greatest the viewers would ever see in recent cinema. When all hell breaks loose and when the chase begins, you're pushed to the edge of your seat and nothing could prepare you for what you are about to witness. From the use of props to the use of facial expressions was just too clever. The final segment is undoubtedly satisfying and one wouldn't forget this film for quite some time, that's for sure. 

In a crux, Nope is a intelligently written and handsomely executed mystery thriller that perpetuates artistic, philosophical and cinematic brilliance in just under 2 hours and shows us what a real art would look like on the screen.
