Closer to the slick visuals of “Get Out” but with a more probing narrative, akin to “Us,” “Nope” is as much an experience as all of Peele’s efforts, with a similarly intriguing premise.

It's extremely sophisticated, this film. And it's very mysterious in its structure.

The odd pacing and ofttimes disjointed storytelling will be off-putting to some, but they're in the service of a variety of knotty themes.
