I can't even comprehend what that is trying to say.

"I want to be the first negative review."

I loved, loved, loved it. The music was one of the best parts imo.

Jordan Peele tends to avoid spoon feeding you information as you watch and you really have to pay attention and tie things together for them to make sense. It seems like that review just took everything at face value and didn't really look at the deeper meaning of things, which is fine cause that's not everyone's jam. It was chalked full with social commentary and watching it a second time really opened my eyes to all the hints they dropped about everything throughout the film.

While there are a few things that don't fully make sense, Jordan Peele always likes to keep a few things open-ended to leave it up to your imagination as to what will/has happened.

i didn't say you weren't smart enough, just that this type of movie isn't for everyone

it's okay to not like things

also the moment you're talking about is when the girl goes flying into the tree, ye??

I think she got out because she still saw the other kids as her own in a way. It's why she looked upset when Jason was walking backwards and saw Pluto going into the fire. (From what I remember)

I think the point of the twist was to give you a sense of dread at the end of the movie. Because even though the "hero" still won, it still doesn't feel like a true win because you know the truth. Most of the time in horror movies, you have that moment where you get to clap and cheer when the hero defeats the evil -- But in this one, you only sort of get that moment.
