Suburra

A blockbuster of a film up there with the greats in gangster and organised crime thrillers like the Godfather series. Just watched it for the second time and it's a riveting story brilliantly scripted, acted and directed.

A must see and you won't look away for a second.

It looks pretty realistic how the story goes in this mafia story. It's disgusting and frightening how the story goes, but it feels also realistic in a bad way. The dirt, the intrigues, the milieu, the politics. The death of people in this movie looks realistic. If 'The Godfather' would be remade these days, I guess it would look like this movie. It might look sober in some scenes. But I guess even this is realistic. A recommendation for people who like mafia movie that feel realistic.

Boy, was that a good film. Italian. Neo-noir. Dark. Masterfully shot. Omnipresent debauchery and depravity of all sorts have rarely looked this good on screen. What's not to love?! I have a soft spot for Italian cinema of the good kind, and that leaves me constantly hungry for more, considering the fact that except for Maestro Tornatore's magnificent opus the last few decades have been... Well, disappointing to say the least. Enter Sorrentino (I firmly believe "La grande bellezza" is one of the top 5 Italian films ever made, with "Youth" not so far behind), and now Sollima too. The only reason to give "Suburra" 9 stars instead of 10 is the microscopically imperfect acting in a few instances, but other than that the film is practically perfect. No need for a wordy review, just go see it. It grips you by the innards and doesn't let go. If you happen to be fluent in Italian and especially the Roman dialect, that adds at least 30% more enjoyment. A big, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who worked on this fantastic film!

I went into this movie with a friend having only read the summary and we were not disappointed. The movie, although over two hours long, did not feel as such and was intense and gripping from start to finish.

The movie is set in Rome over 7 days and shows how the paths of people from various walks of life come together in an all too catastrophic and tragic way. This includes corrupt politicians, a hooker, and warring mafia gangs. The movie plays out like a snowball effect,starting with one event descending into the tragedy to become.

The movie does not shy from graphic sex scenes and excessive violence, but it is not done in poor taste. In fact, it actually makes the film so much more potent. The acting is of course superb, and the actors really embody their roles. Production is excellent from all aspects.

Definitely worth a watch, especially in a theatre.

Suburra it's one of the best crime / drama movie of the last year. The story is settled between Rome and the suburbs and it's a web of relations between politics, mafia boss, prostitute, criminals and normal people. But it isn't a movie of gangster or mafia boss , I mean there are a boss and criminals but it's more a movie about how the common people from the richer to the poor interact with the criminality in some ways for their pettiness. Solima is the same director of Gomorrah the series, so the style is pretty much the same..the movie starts with different stories that start to became a dense plot with a common story. I don't want to spoiler too much about the story and the character because I think it's a must watch movie. Bytheway the cast is great and works very well, the direction it's sublime and some shots and cinematography are really greats. It's definitely not suitable for children since some sex act and nudity, drug use and violence. The soundtrack is done by french M83. If you liked Gomorrah the series you have to watch this movie.
