Friday, July 13th
SFMoMA, San Francisco
8:30 PM, All Ages
$12
Did you miss out on seeing “Get Out” in the theatre, or just want to catch it again on the big screen? Now is your chance to watch this Oscar-award-winning film at SF MoMA.
“Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner meets The Stepford Wives in Get Out in which a white girl brings her Black boyfriend home to meet her parents, whose superficially warm welcome masks an unthinkably dark secret. Blending race-savvy satire with horror to especially potent effect, this bombshell social critique from first-time director Jordan Peele proves positively fearless — which is not at all the same thing as scareless. In fact, from the steady joy-buzzer thrills to its terrifying notion of a new way that white people have found to perpetuate the peculiar institution of slavery, Get Out delivers plenty to frighten and enrage audiences.” — Peter Debruge, Variety
