— Chris Hewitt (UK), Empire Magazine

— Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader

"Jordan Peele has shown us how much the horror genre can actually achieve."

— Clarisse Loughrey, That Darn Movie Show

"Peele develops a genuinely thrilling, heart-in-the-throat-scary horror picture."

— John Semley, Globe and Mail

— Hannah Giorgis, The Atlantic

"Get Out creator Jordan Peele continues to redefine horror with another fascinating funhouse."

— Larushka Ivan-Zadeh, Metro Newspaper (UK)

"Us is a serious film about the American underclass, those who toil out of sight and out of mind. Us is also a lot of fun."

— Scott Tobias, NPR

"A thrilling, complicated and brilliantly well-acted sophomore offering from a director who is at the top of his game right now."

— Linda Marric, HeyUGuys

"We don't get many horror movies with better performances than the ones Lupita Nyong'o and Elisabeth Moss give in 'Us.'"

— Chris Hewitt, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Peele is this generation's Hitchcock, for sure, but also a true American original with introspective themes in hand and suspense to spare."

— Brian Truitt, USA Today

"In 'Us,' Peele uses the metaphor of the divided self to explore what lies beneath contemporary America, its double consciousness, its identity, sins and terrors."

— Manohla Dargis, New York Times

"Full disclosure: 'Us' gave me real-life nightmares, a testament to Peele's ability to illuminate the deepest and most dangerous shadow material of the American Dream."

— Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

"[A]ll the elements of the production work together to create an atmospheric menace that occupies a breathless two-thirds of the high-intensity 116-minute running time."

— Ina Diane Archer, Film Comment Magazine

"If Get Out was a dagger, Us is a storm cloud.The new picture is also, in some ways, more assured than Get Out in the way it delivers traditional but effective genre pleasures."

— Bilge Ebiri, Nashville Scene

"Peele orchestrates events with marvelous confidence, his ability to fill every corner of the frame with a sense of foreboding uncertainty not to be taken lightly or casually dismissed."

— Sara Michelle Fetters, MovieFreak.com

"The film relies on the brilliant-times-two acting of Nyong'o, who slips between protective mom and devilish double with a facility that keeps everybody on edge, both on and off the screen."

— Peter Howell, Toronto Star

"It wouldn't be as truly terrifying as it is without the jaw-dropping performance from his leading lady, Nyong'o, and with this collaboration they have created another whip-smart modern horror classic."

— Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service

"With his second feature, Peele completely obliterates the concept of a sophomore slump, debuting what will go down as the first true, soon-to-be-iconic horror classic that we've seen in many, many years."

— Trey Mangum, Shadow and Act

"Nyong'o delivers one of the great performances in horror movie history, as Jordan Peele shows us a world tragically untethered to its own humanity, its empathy, its soul. If that's not a scarefest for its time, I don't know what is."

— Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
