Jordan Peele's new film 'Us' crafts a terrifying vision of how our own worst enemies might be ourselves, JustinCChang writes.

. The crowd in Austin featured many notable faces, including Donna Langley, chairman of Universal Filmed Entertainment Group, mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, attorney Nina Shaw and a hip selection of talent such as Leslye Headland, Amber Ruffin, Nick Kroll, Eiza González and Elijah Wood.

Frankly, there was no way for that audience to fully understand what was about to hit them. Terrifying, entertaining and thrillingly ambitious, layering theme upon theme and twist upon twist, “Us” is a bold work of a brilliance set free, the kind of movie that a filmmaker gets to make when their previous title brings in more than $255 million worldwide on a budget of $4.5 million.

In the Q&A after the film, Nyong’o spoke about collaborating with Peele on the follow-up to his groundbreaking debut as a filmmaker. For “Get Out,” Peele became the first African American to win the Oscar for original screenplay and to be nominated as a writer, director and producer in the same year.

Peele said the actors developed two distinct, fully formed characters, “And not just in a two-dimensional way, in a three-, four-dimensional way. I really got everybody’s individual crazy out of them, and, for that, I’m forever proud.”
