" There comes a point in your moviegoing life where you look at the screen and then you look at the world and you ask, ‘What is going on?’ You want the movies to show you the chaos and mess and risk and failure that are normal for a lot of us. Generally, the movies hide all of that. " - Wesley Morris

" ‘Get Out,’ of course, is the surprise hit movie that Peele wrote and directed about a black man named Chris, who discovers that his white girlfriend’s family is running a nasty racist conspiracy. " - Wesley Morris

" There is a tragic kind of joke. You really can’t keep a man down – good but often otherwise – because history’s mechanics are built to keep him climbing toward the top. Somehow, Icarus gets to be reborn as Iron Man. " - Wesley Morris

" Movies are visual, aural, they involve people, and life, and ideas and art, they are so elastic. They can hold anything, withstand everything, and make you feel anything. Other arts can do that, but movies are the only ones that can incorporate other media into cinema. " - Wesley Morris
