Nyarp

It's been out and about the world for a few weeks now, and I've heard some discussion, but not a lot. Would have expected more talk about Peele's latest in the spaces I'm in.

Out on a horse training farm, an accident leaves OJ looking after his pop's work, and doing badly at it. His sister comes to stay, and some odd occurrences suggest there is something strange out and about. And so slowly gathers a group of people to try to capture it on film.

Let's get the obvious out of the way. Yes, it's a slow build. And yes, it's worth the build. I wasn't entirely sure what the through line is, especially with Gordy, but yeah, it's obvious enough. Good performances from the actors, although I found it hard to read some of what Daniel Kaluuya was doing.

As before, Peele gives us a story that is about the black experience and the human experience. Check it out, however while it is visually impressive in parts, I'm not going to insist on seeing it in a cinema.
