Nope

"(Peele) lets his metaphorical aspirations get ahead of the nuts and bolts of clear, cogent storytelling..."

"Full of marquee moments and bound together by a thrilling strangeness."

"Strange, muddled, indigestible..."

"A slow, dull and repetitive disappointment."

"Jordan Peele’s originality gets abducted..."

"Even a mediocre Jordan Peele film is better than the strongest film of an ordinary director. Nope is that mediocre film."

"Even when parts of it don’t gel, Nope is a rapturous watch."

"Soaring spectacle and scathing subtext..."

"Nope, enjoyable as a spectacle but conceptually barely thought through, is all over the place."

"A film that does for open skies what Jaws did for the beach..."

"Nope may not be Jordan Peele's best movie to date, but it is his most enjoyable."

"(Nope) confirms the mojo of the Jordan Peele brand. But it also confirms that making movies with too much chaos and sprawl is threatening to become part of that brand."

"The film’s fantastical meta-commentaries don’t completely cohere but have a winning go-for-it audaciousness."

"Peele’s characters keep watching the skies even at their peril, unable to tear their eyes away. You’ll know the feeling."

"Palmer and Kaluuya could not be better."

"A work of sly devastation..."

"Peele is three for three."

"From start to finish, you don’t know what’s coming next..."

"An ambitious, provocative swing, Nope feels like that increasingly rare beast: an original blockbuster."

"Another stylishly crafted and hugely entertaining modern horror..."

"Entertaining, smart, artful summer fare with its heart planted firmly in the 1980s heyday of blockbuster films."

"(An) ambitious, expertly-crafted blockbuster."
