MOVIE REVIEW: Nope

 

A brother and sister team are left with a failing ranch that raises trained horses for film productions when their father dies suddenly, apparently the victim of a freak accident. Together with a friend from a local video store, they set out to discover what has been causing power outages on their property, only to find out that the reason for these disturbances may be stranger than either of them could have guessed.

Starring Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) as the brother O.J. and Keke Palmer (Scream the series) as the sister Emerald, this is a story of a family desperately trying to keep its dignity and reputation during a time of financial and emotional stress. The script is excellent and fun, as well as thrilling and adventurous. It has a timid start, which gives it a chance to build into a tremendous climax, and the interaction between characters is wonderful to behold. There are no erotic scenes, some strong language, and very little gore. Older children may appreciate the action at the end, though they may have trouble sitting through the slower scenes at the beginning.
