Yep!
I really enjoyed nope. It's bit more slow and subtle than Peele's previous films, and I thought that fit very well with the story.
The long panning shots really gave an excellent sense of scale to the Ranch/country setting and the foreboding atmosphere didn't rely too much on darkness to create a sense of mystery and suspense.
Normally I'm not a big fan of films where it's Hollywood being nostalgic about Hollywood, but in this case it worked, due to great writing, an excellent cast, and some good design choices.
The fact that Nope is written, directed and produced by one man gives it an auteur quality that is in many ways lacking in modern cinema. That will also guarantee it's not for everyone, but I'm a fan. Can't wait to see what Jordan Peele comes up with next!
