Get Out is a 2017 American horror film written and directed by Jordan Peele. It stars Daniel Kaluuya as Chris, a black man who uncovers a disturbing secret when he meets the family of his white girlfriend (Allison Williams). Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones, Stephen Root, and Catherine Keener co-star.

Get Out premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States on February 24, 2017, by Universal Pictures. The film was praised by critics for Peele's screenplay and direction, Kaluuya's performance, and subject matter. It was chosen by the National Board of Review, the American Film Institute, and Time magazine as one of the top 10 films of the year. The film was also a box office success, grossing $255 million worldwide on a $4.5 million budget.

Get Out received numerous accolades. At the 90th Academy Awards, it won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Kaluuya. It also earned five nominations at the 23rd Critics' Choice Awards, two at the 75th Golden Globe Awards (Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Actor – Comedy or Musical for Kaluuya) and two at the 71st British Academy Film Awards (Best Actor in a Leading Role for Kaluuya and Best Original Screenplay).

Plot

A young black man named Andre Hayworth (Lakeith Stanfield) uncomfortably walks down an unfamiliar suburban street at night, when he is attacked by a masked assailant who renders him unconscious before dragging him to his vehicle.

Black photographer Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya) reluctantly agrees to meet the family of his white girlfriend, Rose Armitage (Allison Williams). During their drive to the family's countryside estate, they hit a deer and report the incident. The white policeman who arrives on the scene asks for Chris's identification even though he was not driving, but Rose intervenes and the encounter goes unrecorded.

At the house, Rose's parents, neurosurgeon Dean (Bradley Whitford) and hypnotherapist Missy (Catherine Keener), and her brother Jeremy (Caleb Landry Jones) make discomfiting comments about black people. Chris witnesses strange behavior from the estate's black workers, housekeeper Georgina (Betty Gabriel) and groundskeeper Walter (Marcus Henderson). Unable to sleep, Chris goes outside to smoke and sees Walter sprinting through the grounds while Georgina prowls the house. Missy catches Chris returning and talks him into a hypnotherapy session to cure his smoking addiction. In a trance, he recounts the death of his mother in a hit-and-run when he was a child (Zailand Adams), about which he feels guilty. He sinks into a void Missy calls the "sunken place". He awakens believing he had a nightmare but realizes cigarettes now repulse him. Walter confirms that Chris was in Missy's office. Georgina unplugs his phone, draining his battery, though she claims it was an accident.

Dozens of wealthy white people arrive for the Armitages' annual get-together. They take an interest in Chris, admiring his physique or expressing admiration for black figures such as Tiger Woods. Jim Hudson (Stephen Root), a blind art dealer, takes particular interest in Chris's photography skills. Chris meets Andre, who now goes by the name of Logan King, who acts strangely and is married to a much older white woman.

Chris calls his friend, black TSA Agent Rod Williams (LilRel Howery), about the hypnosis and the strange behavior at the house. Chris stealthily photographs Logan to send the image to Rod, but the camera flash makes Logan freeze and bleed from the nose. He then rushes at Chris and hysterically pleads to him to "get out". The others restrain him, and Dean claims Logan had an epileptic seizure. Away from the house, Chris persuades Rose that they should leave, while Dean holds an auction with a photo of Chris. Rod recognizes Logan as Andre. Suspecting a conspiracy, Rod goes to the police but is derided.

While packing to leave, Chris finds photos of Rose in prior relationships with black people, including Georgina and Walter, contradicting Rose's earlier statement that Chris is her first black boyfriend. Chris is prevented from leaving by the family, including Rose, who is revealed to be conspiring with them. Chris tries to attack Jeremy, but Missy activates a post-hypnotic trigger that causes Chris to lose control of his body and fall unconscious. He awakens strapped to a chair in the basement. A video presentation featuring Rose's grandfather Roman (Richard Herd) explains that the family transplants the brains of white people into black bodies; the consciousness of the host remains in the "sunken place", watching but powerless. Hudson tells Chris he wants his body so he can gain sight and Chris's artistic talents.

Chris plugs his ears with cotton stuffing pulled from the chair, blocking the hypnosis. When Jeremy comes to collect him for the surgery, Chris bludgeons him and impales Dean on the antlers of a deer mount. After killing Missy and Jeremy, he drives away in Jeremy's car but hits Georgina. Remembering his own mother's death, he carries Georgina into the car, but she is possessed by Rose's grandmother Marianne; she attacks him and he crashes, killing her. An armed Rose apprehends him with Walter, possessed by Roman. Chris awakens Walter with his phone flash. Walter takes Rose's rifle, shoots her and then himself. Chris begins to strangle Rose but stops after what apparently is a police car arrives. However, it is revealed to be Rod, arriving in a TSA car, and he and Chris drive away.

Cast

Writer-director Jordan Peele voices the sounds made by the wounded deer, and narrates a UNCF commercial.[2]

Production

Get Out is Jordan Peele's directorial debut.

Get Out is the directorial debut of Jordan Peele, who had previously worked in comedy, including the sketch show Key & Peele.[3] He felt the horror and comedy genres are similar in that "so much of it is pacing, so much of it reveals", and that comedy gave him "something of a training" for the film.[3] The Stepford Wives (1975) provided inspiration, about which Peele said, "it's a horror movie but has a satirical premise."[4] As the film deals with racism, Peele has stated that the story is "very personal", although he noted that "it quickly veers off from anything autobiographical."[3]

The lead actors, Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams, were cast in November 2015,[5][6] with other roles cast between December 2015[7] and February 2016.[8][9] Principal photography began on February 16, 2016.[10] It was filmed in Fairhope, Alabama, for three weeks, followed by Barton Academy and in the Ashland Place Historic District in midtown Mobile, Alabama.[11] Principal photography was finished in 23 days.

The film was partially shot at Barton Academy, a historic Greek Revival school building in Mobile, Alabama.

Peele was worried about the film's chances of success, telling the Los Angeles Times, "What if white people don't want to come see the movie because they're afraid of being villainized with black people in the crowd? What if black people don't want to see the movie because they don't want to sit next to a white person while a black person is being victimized on-screen?” [12]

Alternative endings

Peele originally intended the film to end with Chris being arrested by police for the murder of the Armitages, reflecting the realities of racism. Rod meets Chris in jail and asks him for information regarding the Armitage family for investigation, but Chris insists that he stopped them and everything is fine. By the time production had begun, several high-profile police shootings of black people had made the situation surrounding racism, in Peele's words, "more woke", and so he decided that the film needed a happy ending.[13]

Peele considered several other endings, some of which are included on the DVD and Blu-ray release. In one ending, Rod breaks into the estate, finds Chris, and calls his name, but Chris responds, "I assure you, I don't know who you're talking about."[14]

Soundtrack

Michael Abels composed the film's score, which Peele wanted to have "distinctly black voices and black musical references." This proved to be a challenge, as Peele found that African-American music typically has what he termed "at the very least, a glimmer of hope to it." At the same time, Peele also wanted to avoid having a voodoo motif. The final score features Swahili voices as well as a blues influence.[15] The song "Redbone" by Childish Gambino appears at the movie's beginning.[16] Other songs in the film include "Run Rabbit Run" by Flanagan and Allen and "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.[17]

Themes

The Guardian wrote, "The thing Get Out does so well – and the thing that will rankle with some viewers – is to show how, however unintentionally, these same people can make life so hard and uncomfortable for black people. It exposes a liberal ignorance and hubris that has been allowed to fester. It's an attitude, an arrogance which in the film leads to a horrific final solution, but in reality, leads to a complacency that is just as dangerous."[18] Peele said about the film, "The real thing at hand here is slavery ... It's some dark shit."[19]

The film also depicts the lack of attention on missing black Americans compared to missing white females. Slate's Damon Young stated the film's premise was "depressingly plausible ... Although black people only comprise 13 percent of America's population, they are 34 percent of America's missing, a reality that exists as the result of a mélange of racial and socioeconomic factors rendering black lives demonstratively less valuable than the lives [of] our white counterparts."[20]

Reception

Box office

Get Out grossed $176 million in the United States and Canada and $79 million in other territories for a worldwide gross of $255 million, against a production budget of $4.5 million.[1]

In North America, Get Out was released on February 24, 2017, alongside Collide and Rock Dog, and was expected to gross $20–25 million from 2,773 theaters in its opening weekend.[21] The film made $1.8 million from Thursday night previews and $10.8 million on its first day. It went on to open for $33.4 million, finishing first at the box office. Thirty-eight percent of the film's opening-weekend audience was African American, while 35% was white, with Georgia being its most profitable market.[22] In its second weekend, the film finished in second at the box office behind new release Logan ($88.4 million), grossing $28.3 million, for a drop of 15.4%. Horror films tend to drop at least 60% in their second weekend, so this was above average.[23] In its third weekend, the film grossed $21.1 million, dropping just 25% from its previous week, and finished third at the box office behind newcomer Kong: Skull Island and Logan.[24]

In March 2017, three weeks after its release, Get Out crossed the $100 million mark domestically, making Peele the first black writer-director to do so with his debut movie.[25] On April 8, 2017, the film became the highest-grossing film domestically directed by a black filmmaker, beating out F. Gary Gray's Straight Outta Compton, which grossed $162.8 million domestically in 2015. Gray reclaimed the record two weeks later when The Fate of the Furious grossed $173.3 million on its fourteenth day of release on April 27.[26] Domestically, Get Out is also the highest-grossing debut film based on an original screenplay in Hollywood history, beating the two-decade-long record of 1999's The Blair Witch Project ($140.5 million).[25] By the end of March, Los Angeles Times had declared the film's success a "cultural phenomenon" noting that in addition to its box office success, "moviegoers have shared countless 'sunken place' Internet memes and other Get Out-inspired fan art across social media." Josh Rottenberg, the editor of the piece, attributed the film's success to the fact that it was released "at one of the most politically charged moments in memory."[12]

Critical response

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 99% based on 301 reviews, and an average rating of 8.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Funny, scary, and thought-provoking, Get Out seamlessly weaves its trenchant social critiques into a brilliantly effective and entertaining horror/comedy thrill ride."[27] It is one of ten films to earn a 99% (six other films) or 100% (three films) rating with 100 or more reviews (it held a 100% approval rating after the first 139 reviews on the site were registered).[28][29] It was also the highest rated wide release of 2017 on the site.[30] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film has an average weighted score of 84 out of 100, based on 48 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[31] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, while comScore reported filmgoers gave an 84% overall positive score and a 66% "definite recommend".[22]

Richard Roeper gave the film 3½ stars, saying: "the real star of the film is writer-director Jordan Peele, who has created a work that addresses the myriad levels of racism, pays homage to some great horror films, carves out its own creative path, has a distinctive visual style—and is flat-out funny as well."[32] Keith Phipps of Uproxx praised the cast and Peele's direction, saying, "That he brings the technical skill of a practiced horror master is more of a surprise. The final thrill of Get Out—beyond the slow-building sense of danger, the unsettling atmosphere, and the twisty revelation of what's really going on—is that Peele's just getting started."[33] Mike Rougeau of IGN gave the film 9/10, and wrote, "Get Out's whole journey, through every tense conversation, A-plus punchline and shocking act of violence, feels totally earned. And the conclusion is worth each uncomfortable chuckle and moment of doubt."[34] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave Get Out 3.5/4, and called it a "jolt-a-minute horrorshow laced with racial tension and stinging satirical wit."[35] Scott Mendelson of Forbes said the film captured the zeitgeist and called it a "modern American horror classic."[36]

Film critic Armond White of the conservative publication National Review gave a negative review of the film, referring to the film as a "Get-Whitey movie" and stating that it "[reduces] racial politics to trite horror-comedy, it's an Obama movie for Tarantino fans."[37]

Hiram Lee, writing for the World Socialist Web Site, was also critical of the film, describing its approach to race as "reactionary," and writing that "Get Out accepts a number of conventions about race relations and begins from there. Racism, for Peele, simply exists—in the same way that evil does, or original sin. Everyone is infected by it. Its historical origins and the social forces which nourish and promote it are beside the point...Like all such works based on racialist conceptions, one doesn’t have to follow the logic very far before one arrives at positions virtually identical to those of the extreme right."[38]

Some commentators[who?] found that some ideas of Get Out, in particular, people extending their lives by transferring their consciousness into another body, was similar to Spike Jonze's film Being John Malkovich and spoke of Get Out being a secret sequel to that film. Peele said in an interview with Vanity Fair that while he has talked of that theory with Jonze, the film was not conceived as being a sequel in any way, but with this theory in the open, he said "as far as I'm concerned, it's true" that it is a sequel.[39]

Accolades

At the 90th Academy Awards, the film earned four nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor for Daniel Kaluuya. Peele became the third person (after Warren Beatty and James L. Brooks) to earn Best Picture, Director and Screenplay nominations for a debut film, and the first black winner for Best Original Screenplay (and fourth overall nominated, after John Singleton, Spike Lee, and Suzanne de Passe).[40]

At the 75th Golden Globe Awards, Get Out received two nominations: Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Actor – Comedy or Musical for Daniel Kaluuya.[41] The film also received nominations at the 24th Screen Actors Guild Awards,[42] 49th NAACP Image Awards,[43] and 23rd Critics' Choice Awards, among others.[44] It won Best Foreign International Film at the British Independent Film Awards.[45]

At the 33rd Annual Independent Film Spirit Awards on Mar. 3, 2018, Jordan Peele won the Best Director Award and the film won Best Picture. [1] Only films with total budgets less than $20 million are eligible for the awards.

Possible sequel

In an interview with The Playlist, Peele stated that he has ideas for a Get Out 2 and was open to making one.[46]
