A decent enough film, but I still don't understand the inclusion of the violent racism scenes against the, have nothing to do with the plot, innocent family? I get the social commentary on racism, but after holding onto the script for 30…

The vibe of the movie as a time piece is great. The directing is passable. The underlying message is kinda scathing yeah... but Matt f- ing Damon? Like, there are other less interesting actors to play the lead role, though put on the spot,…

Very good! The plot moved along well....bad guys were well cast, great acting overall.
A disturbing story but one that must be told about suburban racism.

A far better movie than I anticipated, based on the sheer volume of negative reviews. Overall, a pretty good movie - not great, but certainly worth watching.

What a weird movie and not in a good way . Weird movies are my jam . The design is great . Julianne Moore is amazing like always. The kid acting is great too . Matt Damon is being Matt Demon . My question is ? Why bother making this movie?…

The script for this film is so confused, and the dramatic payoff so meagre that I can dismiss it as just another Coen brothers failure. Merging two film styles--documentary and noir fiction--was never going to work, and the people who made…

This is avery very dark comedy concerning spousal murder & a highly publicized real life block busting event in segreatated America of the 1950s. It is not for the laugh a minute crowd. If shades of gray are not your colour then pass on…

Matt Damon starring, George Clooney directing, and a Coen brothers screenplay. What could be better? What could go wrong? Lots, it seems. A clever idea with lots of Coen brothers weirdness but there are two distinct movies here and neither…

My kind of movie --a typical Cohen brothers movie of a murder gone wrong..lots of good twists in plot and dark humor....very entertaining script...if you liked FARGO,,you will like this.

A suburban murder caper with a surprise social commentary thrown in. Although the venom may seem excessive, it is very accurate - see the special features for a fuller picture of the history of Levittown PA, one example of many. It is not…

I watched this movie because I'm a Coen Brothers fan. I hated it. Then, I was explaining why I hated it so much to a fellow Coen Brothers fan and it started to hit me how all the pieces fit together to make a pretty decent movie. It's not…
I considered making it my mission to help people avoid this movie. It is horrible. Mean spirited, unlike any Coen Brothers movie I've ever seen. It falls so far short of the normal standard of Matt Damon / Coen Brothers I can't even…

Some very great actors in this film, who really shine. The storyline is excellent, and half of it is really true, which is enlightening (no pun intended). What is so surprising is George Clooney directing, and very well done. I hope to…

This movie is terrible. The story line is non-existent and it makes no sense at all. Clooney and Damon are supposed to be more creative than this and they just wasted everyone's time being involved in this atrocity.

Very dark take on American suburbia. Not what you would expect from the normally sunny liberal triumphalism of George Clooney. The Coen Bros. had a lot to do with it no doubt. Behind the white picket fence and the perfect lawns are murder,…
