Saw it tonight and absolutely loved it. Peele managed to approach racism in a thriller movie in a legitimately disturbing and properly b-horror hammy kind of way. There's not much I can gripe about? It felt subversive in the way that the specific plot had never been done before, but it definitely borrows it's overarching structure from many films before it. In a good way though. This is one of those movies where even if things felt kind of "predictable", it was put together seamlessly. Nothing trope-y felt distracting.

Fun little bit that I noticed. During the scene where Georgina is pouring the family iced tea, Chris' glass is the emptiest. Georgina immediately begins filling up Missy's glass and the rest of the family before getting to Chris. I assumed it was more about the racist family having ingrained into their servants that they take care of them first. But when you find out at the end that Georgina and Walter are the grandparents it took a bit of a different meaning.
