"A colossal cinematic achievement." - Richard Brody, New Yorker
"Another thrilling exploration of the past and oppression this country is still too afraid to bring up. Peele wants us to talk, and he's given the audiences the material to think, to feel our way through some of the darker sides of the human condition and the American experience." - Monica Castillo, rogerebert.com
"Manages to be funny, freaky, and thrilling all at once, and marks another step forward in Peele's evolving sense of storytelling and craftsmanship." - Sandy Schaefer, Screen Rant
