The dark underbelly of life in the 1950's burbs...
“Suburbicon” works its way slowly under your skin to make you squirm at the bigotry and worse in an all-white post-World War II community. On the surface, it’s an ideal life — family friendly, neatly manicured lawns, and dutiful wives who take care of the kids when the husband/father is off at work.<br /><br />But there are cancerous growths eating away at this idyllic setting. When an African-American family, the Meyers, moves in, the other residents whisper, shun them, and become incensed that their way of life is being threatened by the “wrong kind” of people.<br /><br />The Meyers live next door to the Lodge family. Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon), his wheelchair-bound wife, Rose, sister-in-law Margaret (both played by Julianne Moore), and his young son, Nicky (Noah Jute) appear to be the typical American family, but late one night, two thugs break in, terrorizing the family for reasons not immediately clear.<br /><br />Damon has never essayed a role so offbeat. He plays it perfectly straight, making his Gardner a cold, calculating monster living in the guise of a pleasant family guy. With his boxy suits and glasses, he’s right out of the “Father Knows Best” playbook, but with a hefty helping of larceny.<br /><br />Margaret is all motherly concern and sweetness toward Nicky when a tragedy befalls the family. Gardner is grateful for her comforting presence and reassuring encouragement. But this aunt may not be the kind of relative she appears.<br /><br />Gary Basaraba plays Uncle Mitch, a brash, loud guy who has a special bond with Nicky and wants only the best for him. If his manner is abrasive, his intentions are sincere. Oscar Isaac has a relatively small but effective role as insurance agent Bud Cooper, who is adept at sniffing out fraudulent claims. Mrs. Meyers is played by Karimah Westbrook. We see her in a couple of key scenes in which she endures blatant discrimination with dignity.<br /><br />Written by Joel and Ethan Cohen, George Clooney, and Grant Heslov, “Suburbicon” differs from previous films from the Cohen brothers, lacking the quirky humor we’ve come to expect. The film is still throughly involving, but leaves us longing for more of the Cohen brothers wit.<br /><br />Director George Clooney elicits uniformly excellent performances from the cast and takes the viewer down a bleak path in this community, revealing one ugly truth after another, as key characters prove themselves sociopaths rather than kindly citizens. The contrast he sets up between the beginning and the film’s later scenes makes for quite a dramatic punch.<br /><br />While a number of dastardly deeds are committed by the Suburbicon folks, a real friendship develops between Nicky and the Meyers’ son, Andy (Tony Espinosa), who bond through a mutual love of baseball. Too innocent to be bigoted, they regard each other as people, not white or black people. Once again, Clooney sets up a dramatic contrast between these kids and the mob-like mentality of the adults.<br /><br />“Suburbicon” can be taken as a satire on the 1950s American Dream, an outright crime thriller, a commentary on race relations in mid-20th century America, or a combination of the three. As the film progresses, it gets increasingly dark, with motives becoming clear and puzzle pieces falling into place. Characters introduced at various points in the story converge in a shattering climax.<br /><br />Blending the racial sub-plot with the tale of the Lodge family and its toxic lifestyle is not the most comfortable fit. Clooney has based the mob mentality of the neighbors on racial riots that occurred in 1957 in Levittown, Pennsylvania. The tone shifts back and forth from dark satire to the more serious depiction of unthinkable behavior toward the Meyers, and it throws us off balance.<br /><br />“Suburbicon” keeps viewers on their toes. It’s not the Cohen Brothers of “Fargo” or “Raising Arizona.” In style, it most closely resembles “Blood Simple.” As with all scripts from Joel and Ethan Cohen, this one takes you to a world peopled by unique characters.<br /><br />“Suburbicon” is rated R for violence, language and some sexuality.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack include commentary by director/co-writer George Clooney and co-writer Grant Heslov, and the featurettes “Welcome to Suburbicon,” “The Unusual Suspects: Casting,” and “Scoring Suburbicon.” A digital copy is enclosed.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : George Clooney co-wrote (after dusting off an old Coen Brothers script) and directed this pitch dark satire set in a seemingly idyllic suburban neighborhood in the late 1950s. The community's white residents are so caught up with the needless harassment of an African American family that's just moved in that nobody catches on to a sinister scheme involving mild-mannered Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon), his recently murdered wife (Julianne Moore), and her twin sister (also Moore). Oscar Isaac, Noah Jupe also star. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set..
