Under Suburbicon's manicured lawns and cheerful 1959 facade sits a family unraveling from the inside, and George Clooney's film spends most of its runtime peeling back that surface one uncomfortable layer at a time.
What is Suburbicon about?
The Lodge family lives in Suburbicon, a planned community built on the promise of affordable houses and quiet, orderly streets, the kind of place designed so families never have to look too closely at each other. Gardner Lodge, husband and father, is at the center of a home invasion that sets off a chain of infidelity, deception and violence hidden beneath the town's tidy image. As the Lodge household comes apart, the story runs alongside a separate, racially charged conflict breaking out over a new family moving into the neighborhood, and the film keeps cutting between the two to show how much of Suburbicon's calm was never real to begin with.
About the cast
Matt Damon plays Gardner Lodge, with Julianne Moore, Oscar Isaac, Noah Jupe, Glenn Fleshler, Megan Ferguson, Michael D. Cohen and Gary Basaraba rounding out the cast across the film's suburban setting.
Context & significance
Suburbicon is directed by George Clooney and works across comedy, crime, drama and mystery without settling fully into any one of them, using dark humor to sharpen rather than soften its darker turns. It's a joint UK-US production from 2017, set in 1959 and running 105 minutes, built around the gap between a suburb's public image and what's actually happening behind its doors. On K-Time, the film is available with both Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles.
