Nope Will Be Jordan Peele’s Most Polarizing Movie Yet.The 1990s Denzel Mystery That Should’ve Launched a Franchise
The 50 Greatest Fictional Deaths of All Time What’s the Meaning of Jordan Peele’s Nope? Wrong Question. At the bar where she’s avoiding writing, Arabella and her friends do shots with some strangers, she gets woozy, and comes to sitting at her computer, with a gash on her head, disoriented and plagued by a vision of man looming over her, thrusting in a bathroom stall. It’s at this point that I May Destroy You reveals itself for what it is, a show about a woman dealing with the fallout of being drugged and raped-Arabella’s experience is based on Coel’s own-even as it introduces half a dozen permutations on rape, consent, and consent gone wrong.
I may destroy you how to#
Coel, who previously starred in and created Chewing Gum, may be the best actress of any actor–creator out there, and I would happily watch her doing anything-including starring in a show in which her character “just” figures out how to becomes a voice of her generation by comically stumbling around her home city, like some HBO protagonists before her.īut that’s not quite I May Destroy You. If the show thus far seems like a slice-of-life series about a group of creative friends in London, a kind of a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Millennial Woman, it also at no point seems like “just” another version of these things.
“I never noticed being a woman,” Coel’s character writes, “I was too busy being poor and black.”
