Suburbicon finds frequent Coen Brothers
collaborator George Clooney doing his best impersonation of the filmmaking
siblings. Actually, I hope it’s not his best impersonation or we’ve got
problems. Behind the camera, Clooney so obviously apes his pals that his film
has no personality of its own.
Not content with being a huge star, aging more gracefully
than any human ever to live, and selling his tequila brand for a billion dollars, George Clooney continues to make the rest of us mere mortals look like
turds by directing movies. His latest, the Coen Brothers-scripted
Suburbicon is one we’ve been keeping an eye on. The first
trailer just dropped and it’s pretty much what you expect, and I mean that in a
good way. Check it out.
