"Writer and director Peele has pulled off a masterstroke with one of the most timely and horrifying satirical takes on anxieties facing African Americans in the 21st century. If that's not enough, it also takes aim at the horrendous slaving past that blights the country's history... Peele's writing is sharp and to the point. There's not wastage in the story. It gets straight to the point - that racism in all its forms is a horror story in and of itself. While it may make some audiences uncomfortable shining a light on the subject in an entertaining way, it doesn't lessen the impact of the ignorance. The film even has the balls to take a pop at US policing in a suitably scathing remark on how some officers go beyond their powers to target people of colour." - Garry McConnachie, Daily Record
