mattstephd I love Matt Damon's work. Clooney's, too. But this one hurts. The plot is: Man (and woman) kills wife to be with woman. Simple, right? But, the sub-plot, if you wish to call it that is: Another family is ruthlessly attacked by a racist community. Now, what is annoying is NOT that we were duped into watching this documentary on racism in America, but, that this sub-plot has absolutely NOTHING to do with the main plot. These are two totally different movies, forced into one, and we keep hoping that eventually that they will merge--but they never do. Sure, the boys get together in the end, but, really, by then, it's too late to call this "sub-plot" anything BUT unnecessary.

judi-68131 Enjoyed this film and its many plot twists. Thought the acting was good, not award worthy, but acceptable. I think the ending was meant to be edgy, but I felt closure was needed and I don't like to be left hanging. Didn't feel I wasted my time watching it, which is so often the case.

lojitsu Here's The Lowedown on "Suburbicon" (R - 2017 - US)...I'm sorry for his loss.Genre: Thriller/Crime/Comedy My Score: 6.1Cast=8 Acting=9 Plot=7 Ending=6 Story=5 Intense=5 Pace=4 Twist=8 Crime=6 Funny=3As a 1950s suburban community self-destructs, a home invasion has sinister consequences for one seemingly normal family. "What do you think you know, big man? Hmm? Because I know a lot of things." I was really looking forward to this film, it's too bad it could not live up to it. I did not like the racial element at all...I understand that we were awful back then, but it felt like neon orange curtain in a haunted house. The film ended and I was like WTF just happened...took me a while to get it. It was one of those with a great twist that I didn't catch until after I put the Blu-Ray back on the shelf I am not a fan of the Coen brothers (aside from "Burn after Reading") and I should have known I wouldn't care for this one.

reb-warrior A "perfect" little all-white town gets their panties in a twist when a black family, the Mayers, move there in the 1950's. The racist people in town behave like animals, harassing them, and violently protesting and destroying property. Acting like the Mayers are bad, when in fact they are a warm and loving wholesome family. In the meantime, two white sociopaths, Gardner and Rose(Matt Damon and Julianne Moore), live next door to the black family and are murdering people.Some bad stuff has happened. The town eventually finds out about four deaths. The sociopaths are tied to them all. The rest of the town doesn't know this. However, that doesn't stop them from vilifying the black family, by saying "nothing bad ever happened here until they moved in."I think it's a bit too artsy fartsy with it, especially at the beginning. Other than that, it's a great movie, with a subject that's relevant today. If you like satirical moves with important messages about society, this movie may be for you. Or you can open your mind and give it a try. I gave it a 8/10
