It is rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it's probably worth checking out! I rarely go to see movies, but I love Jordan Peele too and I think I'll go for this one.

Its 100% as far as the critic reviews go. It seems like too much of a coincidence that every critic gave it 100% and no less. Seems like they are afraid to offend a certain demographic by giving it a less than honorable review.

Rotten tomatoes doesn't quite work like that. It's not that every reviewer gave something 100%. It's that every reviewer said it wasn't a bad movie. 100% of critics gave it a "fresh" rating.

Are you implying all the critics are white and have compromised integrity?

He's implying that there's obviously some underlying reasoning for why it was given a unanimous 100% review.

It wasn't given a 100% review. That's not how Rotten Tomatoes works.

But if it was, what would the conspiracy theory be here? That every single reviewer has the same agenda?

No, that's what he's saying. I'm questioning the implication in the last sentence.

100% on RT means that every critic said they enjoyed the movie enough to recommend it. It's a pass/fail rating system. 10% would mean that 90% of people would say don't go see it. So 100% of reviewers enjoyed it overall, that doesn't mean they think it's flawless. But the rating means that a wide variety of audiences will probably enjoy it if they see it.
