The ending of Us explained

Us, the second movie from writer, director, and producer Jordan Peele, is an ambitious follow-up to 2017's Get Out, the stirring, well-received debut that put him on the map as a horror filmmaker to be reckoned with. Get Out had a lot to say, but Us is arguably twice as big, twice as bold, and twice as ambitious as its predecessor, ramping up both the blood-and-guts horror content and the social commentary that helped win its predecessor an Oscar. If the dozens of A+ reviews for his sophomore effort are anything to go by, it just might be his masterpiece. But if you caught the movie and didn't catch what Peele was going for, then it might also be a pretty frustrating watch.

Three months before its release, the movie announced its impending arrival with a remarkably enticing trailer, but like all good trailers, it only teased us with the real story — so when the twists in Us start happening, they hit hard, and leave a real impression. There's a lot more going on underneath the surface of this movie than the promos show you — and we mean that literally. What exactly is this new nightmare of Peele's really about? Let's break down the many meanings of the complex end of Us.
