Nope (2022)
From Oscar-winning hitmaker Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us), Nope stars Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out, Judas and the Black Messiah) and Emmy winner Keke Palmer (Scream) as horse trainer OJ Haywood and his goofball sister, Emerald, whose lives are derailed by a mysterious phenomenon in the clouds over their ranch.
Winner of 28 awards, Nope was the 22nd biggest film of 2022 and has an 83% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Vulture calling it “thrilling… a work of sly devastation”, and Daily Telegraph (UK) “a film that does for open skies what Jaws did for the beach…”
The film’s support cast includes Oscar nominee Steven Yeun (Minari), three-time Emmy winner Keith David (Greenleaf), Wrenn Schmidt (For All Mankind), and Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria, Unpregnant).
