Review of Nope (2022) by Olivierpiel — 07 Sep 2022
Peel's obsession with racism with poorly construed and simplistic metaphores have reached its nadir. It is something aking to mental illness, neurosis. Secondly, he keeps on stealing from Glazer's "Under the skin". In "Get Out", he flat-out stole the iconic black void scene. Here he simply steals the whole premise of the film: An Alien race considering mankind as a form of delicacy.
If it were an improvement on the original, why not! However This feels just like a Night Shamalyan film. There are 20 minutes scenes that are completely void of meaning while others, filled with violence or "fast-paced action" are just red herrings. For a final reveal that leaves you feeling "been had".
Glazer's film made us think about our relationship to our bodies and its meaning in society. This is just drivel mascarading as art.
