First reactions to Nope
Considering the hype behind the movie, it has a risky relation with failing expectations, but reactions after its premiere in Los Angeles indicate otherwise. Described as Jordan Peele’s most ambitious and unimaginable work, many feel his third movie is very different than his previous ones.
The most important thing you need to know about NOPE is it’s crazy different from Get Out & Us. This is Jordan Peele spreading his wings and making big budget Spielberg/esque sci-fi, but with the subtext you’d expect. Enter with an open mind and you’ll be rewarded.#NopeMovie
