Watch Suburbicon For Free

Overrated and overhyped

Captivating movie !

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Very entertaining, well written, and well acted. Matt Damon is excellent, as always. The movie is a little confusing at first and can seem a little disjointed. But towards the end of the film, the subtext sinks in. It's a clever commentary, with a hopeful ending in the two boys.

Admission - I am a Cohen Brothers fan as I like the way they spin a tale. Nothing is ever simple. What you think you're seeing, you're not. What you believe is the story is - but told with questionable characters and very, very dark humor. And there is a mystery. Edge of your seat mystery actually. And quirkiness that can only be told this way by the Cohens. And coldblooded characters. And hate. And lies. And death. And...justice. Haven't seen a Cohen Brother's film (whether writing, directing or producing) without it. Suburbicon is right along those lines, and it is a very good film, and a very good directorial job by George Clooney.It will strike a nerve for those who are seeking a political message rather than what it is doing, and that is telling a horrible story of a situation suburbia. Sure the film throws something out there, but it is a mere distraction from the real tale - one the Cohen brothers know how to tell, and tell well. This is the story of the underbelly of Suburbia, where you are distracted by one thing, when the most horrific thing is happening right under your nose. Matt Damon and Julianne Moore are perfect 1950s suburban neighborhood replicas of the time. There is an adorable 1950s son, Nicky (played wonderfully by Noah Jupe) to whom I immediately was drawn to and as the film progresses, feel for. But again, I digress. It's the distraction that makes the film work for me -and reading many of the reviews, the distraction n works because they never mention what the film is really about and --that, is what makes the Cohen's brilliant in their storytelling. How brilliant they are in taking the quirky and making it interestingly plausible, and how easy it is to distract from the real issue -- that is right in front of your face.I'd also like to mention how Oscar Issac as the Insurance Adjuster is another 'bit' player in this film that absolutely makes the film for me even as short as his appearance may be. He is cast as the perfect Cohen Brothers insert -- and is there to drive the point of story distraction home. This is an amazing tale, makes the viewer wonder what is "the real problem" knowing that there never really is only one -- the Cohen's were very apt to present it to you multilayered. But were you distracted? I can see many were, and again, that is the beauty of this film.

I'm genuinely pretty shocked at all the negative reviews! This was a fantastic movie. I can't help but wonder if all the people saying the storylines don't tie together, even watched the same movie. They most certainly do tie together and the message was crystal clear.

Why do people think this movie is bad? This movie tell us the ambition drives us in the wrong direction. Good
