I see that "Get Out" came top in both Uncut and Sight and Sound's "best films of the year" list.
I thought it was a really good thriller, with some really memorable jolts. The auction scene, when you realise what is going on, was very powerful.
But it had a few flaws, as reviews pointed out at the time. The ending was familiar, and felt a let down when compared with the originality of what had come before. I thought the humour was needless and missed the mark.
It was an absolutely excellent film, but I am a bit surprised at it being hailed as the best of the year.
Haa anyone seen it twice? How is it on second viewing?
Does it deserve to be called best of the year?
