Palmer’s performance was truly captivating and presented a very real and relatable approach to her character’s fear throughout the film. Nope also gave Walking Dead fans a fantastic performance by Steven Yeun, whose character brought an interesting child-actor backstory with a tramamatic chimpanzee murder scene, no less. We even get Brandon Perea who plays Angel Torres, the tech employee who sells the Haywood siblings the security camera equipment to catch their famous extraterrestrial Oprah moment on screen. (I went down a rabbit hole for us and discovered that Perea is a professional roller skater–you’re welcome!) Our Euphoria queen, Barbie Ferreira, even has a role as Nessie, who works with Angel at the tech store. Ferreira and Palmer in that scene would have been epic! I wish Nessie would have been at the house when it all went down. Unlike Get Out or Us, Nope has a sci-fi element to it. Peele builds on suspense to reveal a mesmerizing monster. What makes Peele’s work so unique is his ability to take simple, everyday things and turn them into new irrational fears. After getting out of the theater, I checked a few clouds to make sure they were moving. You might have a new fear of clouds, thanks to Nope and unfortunately won’t have Emerald Haywood with you to catch the proof. Peele’s genius also caters to diverse audiences. Peele revealed the reason he named the film Nope, was because that’s what he knew audience members would say if they were to ever encounter the extraterrestrial monster in real life. Throughout the film, I found myself saying nope under my breath too. Some even thought the name of the movie was an acronym for Not Of Planet Earth, which Peele also confirmed is connected to the name of the film.
