Literally every single time I think that I want to move to the suburbs when I grow up, I think about every single horror movie and the fact most heinous, unsolved murders happen in Suburbia. Then I think, nah I'm good.
I thought of this as I watched the trailer for director George Clooney's upcoming twisted dramedy rooted in picket fence-land, SURBURBICON. Like most his films, it's as dark as it is hilarious, and stars Matt Damon. So, he's definitely got a type. However, I can't say I was too hot on his last film, The Monuments Men. Let's hope this is significantly better. Official synopsis:
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 (Matt Damon) 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.
Can I also just say, more Oscar Isaac in everything, please? Thanks in advance.
