George Clooney's latest directorial effort, "Suburbicon," is a misguided mess, according to the vast majority of film critics.

"Suburbicon" currently sits at 29% on Rotten Tomatoes and opens on Friday.

It stars Matt Damon, Julianne Moore, and Oscar Isaac in a black comedy about the disturbance of an idyllic 1950s suburb by a home invasion, and the presence of an underground mafia.

The movie originates from a lost, 1986 screenplay by Joel and Ethan Coen that probably should have stayed unfilmed.

Clooney decided to bring the project to life by adding his own layer of "topical" social commentary to the script, and most critics have described the resulting mix of themes as an epic misfire.

Here are the most brutal reviews of "Suburbicon":


Clooney took a Coen Brothers' script and added a whole level of superficial race commentary that he thought was needed because of the overbearing issues caused by Trump. Like most race pandering, it turned out like crap, and the movie is at 27%

29% RT means for every 10 reviews, 7 are 6/10 or less and 3 are 7/10 or more.

Taking that average, the true score is 6.3/10

Isn't it convenient that critics were right this time and wrong when Dear White People came out?


Gotta keep up that double standard so he can stay true to his inherent dislike of anyone who isn't a right leaning white male.

I said not so such thing, but it's trendy on this board to make up reality when actual reality doesn't suit your narrative.

I love the Coen Brothers, and typically George Clooney films also. Really sad George ruined the script with the anti-Trump commentary he felt obliged to shoehorn in.

That's assuming all of the reviews are exactly 6/10 and 7/10. The average rating is evidently 4.8, if Rotten Tomatoes is correct.

nothing in the trailers shows 'liberal propaganda', it just looked like a weird movie with no sense of direction. And I highly doubt that would change if whatever 'liberal propaganda' that triggered addy was taken out. There's presumably a reason why the Coen's decided against making it. and it's not a surprise that Clooney isn't a talented enough director to fix that.

so tl;dr

Shut the fuck up addy

If there's one thing we need more of it's George Clooney and Matt Damon shoehorning their political views into new Hollywood projects. All we need now is for Harvey Weinstein to get involved and Meryl Streep or Sean Penn to make a cameo appearance.

You're assuming people watch movies and think deeply about them before they get butthurt. That isn't how outrage culture works. Anyone that had an issue with Get Out was assuming it was more anti-white liberal propaganda.

I do think It's weird though that Admiral is assuming Suburbicon is getting critically eviscerated for being too liberal when he has definitely bitched about Hollywood being a liberal echo chamber. If it is, Get Out should have been panned. If it isn't, Dear White People should have been.
