That's why they made her a leader, because she was able to not mimic Adelaide, right? Like you said, we see the tethered still do exactly what the fair goers do (from the roller coaster, to eating the food etc). And even after she was recognized as different, she still had to have sex and give birth to the same 3 family members as Adelaide does, so her tether was still well intact even as late as 9 years ago (assuming the boy is about 9 years old), whereas the moment she changed was during the dance, when Red was still just a girl.
I would give Us a 9/10 as well. A fantastic movie and, my God, Lupita Nyong'o is so incredibly talented (and beautiful). I almost rate it higher than Get Out for the simple reason that I was given the opportunity to watch her for 2 hours.
I gathered that they made her a leader, because she was the only person who could speak and because she was from above.
But yeah, I have nothing for the latter lol; as I said, the theory I proposed holds water, but not very well lol.
She is super-talented and a great actress.
But I don't find her attractive in the absolute slightest lol.
