An analysis of "Us" directed by Jordan Peele

This analysis is completely conducive with a Marxist or leftist perspective of this film. Jordan Peele not only has a good appreciation of race, but also of class, and this film really analyzes class more than race (which was explored more explicitly and focused on in Get Out).
If you havent seen the film, I urge you to! And if you have, here is some great analysis to help you understand its message!

In addition to this, I cannot recommend Nightmare Masterclass highly enough. His recent essay on 'Us' is fantastic: <a href="https://youtu.be/QD-HHGc7v9Y" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/QD-HHGc7v9Y</a>
