For months the trailer has been teasing us with the sight of a frightened Kaluuya and Keke Palmer looking up at the sky, Steven Yeun in a cowboy hat and hilarious bright red suit, and a glimpse of what seems to be a flying saucer. It promised a frothy, entertaining popcorn movie, infused with Peele's usual layers of social commentary. But Nope turns out to be a would-be romp that often limps along instead.
Expectations were high even before the trailer, of course. Peele's Get Out (2017) was a true instant classic, effective as horror and trenchant as a critique of racial stereotyping. Us (2019) leaned even more into horror as it dealt with class and race.
