Trauma Profiteering in Jordan Peele's 'Nope'
Nope succeeds tremendously in dealing with higher concepts in an engaging and highly entertaining manner without sacrificing theme or personality.

Hasn't every woman ever wondered whether it's best to ditch all the men and just marry your best friend? Paula and Emily are doing just that. Single hotel owner Paula Atkinson and her impulsive friend Emily van Garden have known each other since high school and have always been able to rely on each other. In a love crisis, Emily therefore moves into the "Seaside Hotel" and supports Paula. When Emily catches her fiancé Frank with someone else a few days before the wedding and Paula realizes after an upsetting visit to the doctor that no one will be there for her nine-year-old daughter Lucy in an emergency, the two spontaneously order the posse in a two-girlfriends-against-the-rest-of-the-world moment.

The Cycle refuses to lean into the same old, same old monster-movie tropes and builds the entire premise around the intellect and the history of a capable, smart female protagonist.
