Damon, Moore, Jupe, and Isaac are all excellent, though their performances have been sunk by the uneven script and Clooney's inability to replicate the Coens' balance of several playful, sometimes contradictory modes at once.

What a mess.

Full Review | Jul 21, 2021

Despite hosting a full house of star names, George Clooney's murder mystery doesn't live up to its billing.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 18, 2021

Suburbicon is a horror film, but the monster is us.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2021

His viewpoint here jibes with the general efforts of the Democratic Party and its pseudo-left hangers-on to paint the mass of the American population as hopelessly backward, if not overtly racist.

Full Review | Feb 11, 2021

A story about a home-invasion and its aftermath... but it's a struggle to pin down the film's genre, its theme, or what the writers are trying to say.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 27, 2021

The dream team got together for a movie and in the end, the result was a wreck.

Full Review | Nov 10, 2020

A mixture of the racial tones, the murderous plot and the humour makes this a confusing mess of storytelling.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2020

Clooney has proven himself talented enough a filmmaker to tell compelling stories, but with his latest endeavor he is in conflict with the message he's trying to get across.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Jul 17, 2020

"Suburbicon" wants to be a witty satire of suburban living, a commentary on race relations in America, and a tense murder mystery. A toothless, tedious disappointment, it fails on all accounts.

Full Review | Original Score: D+ | Jul 1, 2020

It's as ridiculous as it is ugly.

Full Review | May 19, 2020

Clooney effectively blends 50's era whimsy with coal-black comedy beats and noir thrills, all while satirizing 2017's political landscape.

Full Review | Mar 30, 2020

The film could be described as a mix of Fargo and Blood Simple by the way of Tim Burton. It's undeniably entertaining but is hard to shake the feeling we have seen all this before.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 27, 2020

It's a sweet, sweet romp with genuine suspense and cartoonish violence that aimed for a frolicsome good ride and hits its mark.

Full Review | Oct 17, 2019

'Suburbicon' is a missed opportunity because it wants to cover too many different things and doesn't know how to do it in a natural way. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Aug 5, 2019

Given the ghastly result, perhaps the Coens should sue, since it's almost inconceivable that their original idea bore much resemblance to a debacle that unexpectedly has emerged as one of the year's worst films.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 21, 2019

Basically, repeatedly working with the Coens didn't turn Clooney into a Coen any more than his playing a doc on E.R. means I'd let him near me with a scalpel.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Jun 25, 2019

An uneven, often unpleasant satire that comes across as a pale imitation of the Coens' distinctive style.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 4, 2019

Comedy is not effectively mixed with a serious thriller, ruining many potential tense moments; leaving the audience confused as to what emotion they should be feeling.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | May 8, 2019

"Suburbicon," a film that, despite checking a lot of the right boxes, simply isn't very good.
