Mr. Smooth, George Clooney directs alone but shares writing credit with the brothers Coen and Grant Heslov (Good Night, and Good Luck and The Monuments Men). The film lives in the same world that has occupied Joel and Ethan for many years now and it looks into the evil that regular people are capable of when they suspend all morality or give into the pack mentality.

As a time capsule of mid-century life in American it gets the nuances just right and you can easily get lost in the mid-day high ball and pleated skirts, that is until the body count starts adding up. It’s not just the wall paper that is a horror show.

There is always a fine line between social commentary and entertainment when movies make bold statements and Suburbicon has more than a few moments where the outrage is equal to the entertainment. It’s up to the audience to make the distinction.

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. This is Suburbicon.

SUBURBICON is directed by George Clooney and stars Matt Damon, Julianne Moore, Noah Jupe and Oscar Issac.

SUBURBICON releases in Australian cinemas on November 2, 2017.
