Peele, at the forefront of diversifying the film and TV industries, focuses on telling stories that are of, told by, and relevant to, the black American population. This thrilling, as well as immensely disturbing, horror film, with its philosophical undertones, explores what it means to be black in modern American society, what it means to be treated as an other, a commodity, to be denied an acknowledgement of one's reciprocal alterity that Beauvoir feels is disallowed to women.
