Ended up being more of a thriller than I expected. Has the same creepiness and slowly building anxiety of Get Out. I don’t think the idea was as well executed as Get Out, but I liked how it took that idea of being unsafe in a white environment and applied it to an everyday workplace. I really felt Nella’s anxiety and desperation each step of the way. The ending was great.
