Get Out (2017)

We watched Get Out together and spent an hour talking about the sunken place as Black erasure afterward. That kind of conversation doesn't happen often. The film gives you something real to think about together.

Some elements of Get Out show their age, but the core of it — the horror of assimilation, the tonal balance of comedy and dread — hasn't diminished at all. Films this good age better than almost anything else.

The music in Get Out is so deeply married to the images that you almost can't separate them. It stays in your head days later and when you hear it again the emotions return immediately.
