Suburbicon is a lot. Although, I can't pinpoint what happens in the movie or what it's trying to say.

A wannabe genre-mashup that instead becomes a trainwreck. George Clooney has always been a mediocre director, it needs to be said. Even his most acclaimed films aped from other better filmmakers. In this case, SUBURBICON clearly aims to be a satirical black comedy in the mold of the Coen Brothers. But the script lacks the tonal consistency, the sophistication, the ironic wit, or even the charm of seeing a folksy rendition of Americana on film again. Amusingly, the reportedly shoehorned subplot about racism in the all-white community is the most interesting part of the otherwise dull and unpleasant movie.

The superb cast is unsurprisingly excellent, it captures the look of the iconic American fifties style perfectly – think Hitchcock meets Mad Men – and although the element of …

A movie that wants to be all kind of things

“The only thing Suburbicon is missing is you.
Isn’t it time for your new start?
Come home to Suburbicon.”
It doesn’t happen often, but now I had a feeling I didn’t really understand what I’d watched. Not that “Suburbicon” was a complicated, incomprehensible film. But I didn’t know what the initial intention was of the filmmakers? Was it meant to bring a socially critical message? Or was it a satirical view of an American society during the 50s with its tidy, decent neighborhoods and good-humored citizens? Or was it simply a crazy crime story with a fraudulent twist? Ultimately, in my eyes it was a mix of all of this, with not one facet that stands out. It’s a bundling of mediocrities. And the two mixed stories seem to have nothing to do with each other. It …
