i though nope was particularly thematically rich, and worked equally well as a popcorn horror flick, an extension of peeles style, and a thoughtful hard scifi movie
i walked out thinking about depression - how all the characters start the story depressed, and its only the ones who treat their depression and trauma (ie jean jacket) with the respect they deserve that make it out alive
my wife, who works in documentary, walked away thinking about how documentary film abuses its subjects and steals their stories
and were both white - im sure people of color who saw the movie picked up on layers i wouldnt have seen
and the movie was fun as hell and beautifully shot to boot
my personal expectations were sky high, and they were met
