Dir. George Clooney, US, 2017, 104 mins. Cast. Matt Damon, Julianne Moore, Oscar Isaac.
George Clooney is back in the director's chair for a wildly entertaining, deliciously dark satire co-scripted by the Coen Brothers set in 1959 that is unsettlingly pertinent to the present day. 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. This is a tale of very flawed people making very bad choices.
