Examining the 1975 assassination attempt on U.S. President Gerald Ford by Sara Jane Moore, a conservative, middle-aged, single mother from the San Francisco suburbs who became radicalized while working as an FBI informant.

Variety

Suburban Fury does that rare thing and offers a highly specific motivation for Moore's infamous crime.

Lovia Gyarkye

The Hollywood Reporter

At its most interesting, Suburban Fury probes this tension alongside Moore’s account. It’s in this space that Devor’s film, bursting with energy of the archives and the thrill of a narrator who can’t quite be trusted, finds its purpose.

Brad Hanford

Slant Magazine

Robinson Devor is less interested in reconciling Sara Jane Moore’s contradictory allegiances than in exposing how they were formed.

Rated: 2.5/4

Seattle Film Blog

It's hard to tell what [Robinson Devor] thinks about [Sara Jane Moore], but that isn't the same as lacking a point of view. It's more about providing a voice for a woman who has felt misrepresented.

Rated: 3.5/4

Hyperallergic

"Suburban Fury" sits with Sara Jane Moore to learn how the politics and culture of the 1970s drove her toward Gerald Ford with a gun in her hand.

The Contending

Suburban Fury is a testament to how people are much more than that one thing they may have done that seems to define them. Moore admits to being three different people at the time of the assassination attempt.

Rated: B-
