I am still perplexed at how much of a failure SUBURBICON was, given what they had to make it.

Utterly unsatisfactory in terms of the message as well as highly inconsistent in the art of entertaining. Read more

George Clooney's satire of suburban "Little America" has quite a few problems, but it's still conveys a fitting message of tolerance plus it's mostly enjoyable to watch. Read more

A huge misfire for Clooney and the Coen brothers (who clearly allowed their script to fall into the wrong hands).

Perhaps the main problem with Suburbicon as a thriller is its lack of perspective. It can't seem to decide who its protagonist is, at times asking the audience to identify with the hapless Gardner, who is too despicable and frankly uninteresting for us to care about, while at other times it places Nicky front and centre, like an Invaders from Mars remake with the sci-fi element removed.

Too much of that talent is wasted on asinine serendipity, aimless chattiness, and a social commentary that misses nearly every mark... Read more

Strays close to meaningless parody, throwing around incendiary imagery without clear purpose. Read more

A confused mishmash of a movie that attempts to blend two different storylines and fails to fully develop either in an engaging fashion. Read more

A dead-on-arrival film barely worthy of mention in the same breath as cinematic joys like American Beauty, The Truman Show, and Pleasantville.

No amount of slick Coen Brothers-esque chicanery can save Suburbicon from its meanness.

A muddled mess that plays like a poorly judged SNL sketch that goes on far too long. Read more

What this film does not do is to deliver a fast paced storyline that could start right from the beginning with its logical conclusion. Obviously, it’s not like this film does not have one.. But it was that slow that I had begun the battle with myself not to fall asleep…... Read more

There’s a bunch of the Coen’s traditional comedy here, but it’s stretched and thin.

Cinematografisch was het een fijne film, maar voor het overige was hij vooral erg clichématig. Read more

Qua stijl een onvervalste Coens-film, maar kent inhoudelijk teveel tekortkomingen om net zo geslaagd te zijn als een film van de getalenteerde broers. Read more

Al bij al vond ik de film niet echt spectaculair en het onderwerp niet subtiel genoeg. Read more
