But the tranquil surface masks a disturbing reality, as husband and father Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) must navigate the town’s dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit, and violence.

The meat of Suburbicon is certainly Grade-A, but no expense has been spared on the trimmings either. Even the briefest supporting players are fully formed and often quite memorable. Read full review

Clooney is too talented and committed a filmmaker not to get in his licks. But with Suburbicon, he's made a movie that is tonally at war with itself. Read full review

David Rooney

Suburbicon is just too obvious in its satirical depiction of the dubious morality and social inequality behind the squeaky-clean façade of postwar American life, though it's watchable enough, and a distinct improvement for Clooney on his last directorial outing. Read full review

Part social melodrama, part violent crime drama and part send-up of family values gone haywire, it’s a curiosity that stubbornly fails to come alive until it’s almost over, and then it’s too late. Read full review

So repelled is Clooney by the response of white suburbia to African-Americans, and so keen is he to insure that we share his outrage at what they endured, that he quite forgets to be interested in them. Read full review

Wow. Just wow. Every year, movie theaters bring us their share of surprises – both good and bad. Suburbicon goes immediately to the front of the line of contenders for the most disappointing film of 2017. Read full review

Suburbicon is not only unfunny, a bad sign for a black comedy, but deep-dyed dislikable. Read full review

I enjoyed this movie. The negative reviews pointing towards the problems with the racism and lack of sensitivity towards today’s world are weird to me. It’s not like some of that stuff didn’t really happen and denial of today’s problems will not fix them.

Despite a rather entertaining and fun third act, great set designs and visuals and great acting performances by the main cast, this satire on suburbs lifestyle still fell short.

A pesar de su estética bastante bonita, se hace larga y previsible por momentos.

Suburbicon at first seems excellent black satire over the American way of life 50-60 years. Here and giving of a plot is not bad, and cast. But all the rest is made just disgustingly.

Here and giving of a plot is not bad, and cast. But all the rest is made just disgustingly. Situations are too not realistic, all emotions and feelings are built in the absolute. Perhaps such approach will be pleasant to someone, but after viewing of the movie nothing remains at the viewer. Any work of art has to bear sense. Unfortunately it not about Suburbicon.… Expand

Matt Damon and George Clooney work on another over hyped project. Suburbicon is another waste of Nine bucks. It looks beautiful and stylish. But that is the films only merits.

Incredibly bad. Good cast, although I can't imagine why they accepted the roles -- they must have been desperate. Nice period gas hogs(50's) --- I miss my '50 Ford Coupe and my'57 Chevy. The rest is pure junk. The Cohen brothers do it again. And Clooney? Too much of his cheap vodkaIncredibly bad.
