Suburbicon is a peaceful, idyllic, suburban community with affordable homes and manicured lawns -- the perfect place to raise a family, and in the summer of 1959, the Lodge family is doing just that. But the tranquil surface masks a disturbing reality, as husband and father Gardner Lodge must navigate the town's dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit and violence.

Critics Consensus

A disappointing misfire for director George Clooney, Suburbicon attempts to juggle social satire, racial commentary, and murder mystery -- and ends up making a mess of all three.

You know what they say about the road to hell. Here the good intentions are so compromised they scarcely merit the description.

A strong cast and talented director never make the whole add up.

The most dazzling trait of "Suburbicon" is the inanimate. Anything living and organic is witless and half-baked.

2/4

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.

Well acted from the strong cast, however the pacing is off and the themes it tries to deal with (while interesting) don't tie together as a whole.

Never pay attention to any CRITICS score for any movie….. for audience score I think this movie is unfairly marked down, it was not a master piece but it gets 3.5 to 4 stars.

I thought this was a pretty good movie I watched it a while back I vaguely remember that I enjoyed it. I remember Juliana Moore did an amazing job at the duel roles but I also remember noticing some flaws to the file as well so overall it was interesting and entertaining enough but not one id watch again.

suspense drama . its about a Mafia family or maybe a Jewish mafia family ? He was asked if he's Jewish .maybe an inside joke. not sure what that had to do with the movie. And he had me fooled up until the end . I didn't know he was actually a bad guy until the end

This is a well-done story despite the distaste many have for it. Imagine if a filmmaker places the worst parts of America in the front of our minds...the parts of America some want others to forget. This is one of those times when self-identity may define this story for us. One main point is that good people were/are subject to the worst form of violent hate.
