Jordan Peele’s Get Out is the first film by a black writer/director to make $100 million at the box office .
Before the release of Get Out, Peele curated a series for the Brooklyn Academy of Music called “The Art of the Social Thriller.”
Obviously Peele has done what all writer/directors hope to do: he’s touched a nerve, so much so that it matters little to audiences that Get Out is classified as a horror film.
What works so well about Get Out, is that it manages to put you in Chris’s shoes for the duration of the film.
