“Tuesday Night at the Movies” choice to be “Get Out”

“Get Out” to play at Milton Public Library on February 19th

The “Tuesday Night at the Movies” pick for February 19th, starting promptly at 6:30 p.m., is “Get Out” starring Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams. Now that Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean. At first Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined. It is rated R for violence, bloody images, and language. This film is a horror-thriller that tackles timely issues related to race in a very thoughtful way. It is best for older teens and up, as it does deal with mature material. The movie contains violence and bloody scenes, including a surgery. Please read up more on the movie if you have questions about the content. Director Jordan Peele won the Academy Award for “best original screenplay,” making him the first African-American to win this award for his very first film.
