What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Brian Viner  Noir 'Suburbicon' is stylish, funny and entertaining. | 15 |  |
| Die Burger Paul Boekkooi Wit utopia? Die lewe is hél in die suburbs. | 5 |  |
| 24.com Herman Eloff The film starts out all sunshine and roses before sliding into a pit of hell. It will leave you uncomfortable and with a lot of questions – which is a good thing. | 10 |  |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy Overall, I was disappointed by the film, not only due to its missed opportunities, but also by the inclusion of a separate storyline -- with a noticeably different tone -- that serves as nothing more than an obvious message of being blinded by hate and not realizing what true dangers might be lurking next door in suburbia. | 8 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer A disappointing misfire for director George Clooney, Suburbicon attempts to juggle social satire, racial commentary, and murder mystery -- and ends up making a mess of all three. | 5 | |
| CommonSenseMedia Jeffrey M. Anderson Depressing, violent dark comedy is a big misfire. | 2 | |
