Nope

Rent & Buy
Residents in a lonely gulch of inland California bear witness to an uncanny, chilling discovery.
What critics thought
Critics broadly responded to Nope as a bold, visually inventive spectacle that cements Peele as a major blockbuster filmmaker, but the sharpest disagreement centered on whether its many ideas and tonal registers cohere into a satisfying whole or simply pile up impressively without ever clicking into focus. The film's creature design, sound work, and lead performances drew consistent praise, while its thematic ambitions — particularly its commentary on spectacle and exploitation — divided critics between those who found them richly layered and those who found them underdeveloped.
“impeccably managed suspense, sharp jokes and a beguiling, unnerving atmosphere of all-around weirdness”
A. O. Scott·The New York Times
“It doesn't hurt that Peele's latest boasts some of the most inspired [movie monster] design since H. R. Giger left his mark on the genre, or that Kaluuya's eyes remain some of Hollywood's most special effects, as Nope gets almost as much mileage from their weariness as Get Out squeezed from their clarity.”
David Ehrlich·IndieWire
“This ultimately feels like four very promising movies mashed together, with spectacular highlights bumping into each other in a way that's ultimately lacking, even as they all demonstrate the prowess and bravado of the filmmaker.”
Alonso Duralde·TheWrap
“There is something clotted and heavy about this film, with sadly not enough of the humour for which Peele justly became celebrated in his double-act days with Keegan-Michael Key.”
Peter Bradshaw·The Guardian
