In the latest of our Take Two series, we reexamine Batman & Robin, the sequel we watched so you don’t have to.
Suburbicon is a somewhat effective thriller that unfortunately squanders its potential at being a deeper film about racial tension.
Despite some flaws, Suburbicon is still a riot of a good time, poking fun at the inherent obscurity of the American Dream in a unique way.
