Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 10/10/2016
4/5
Suburra is a sprawling Italian crime drama with genuinely epic ambitions. Go to Full Review
Tara Brady Irish Times 08/08/2016
3/5
A sprawl of beautifully cast characters -- a weasly pimp (Germano) here, a junkie moll (Scarano) there -- and their many intersections are deftly juggled, thanks to Patrizio Morane's darting cuts. Go to Full Review
Philip De Semlyen Empire Magazine 06/30/2016
4/5
A stylish crime thriller that dissects Italian society with a cool eye and an itchy trigger finger. Go to Full Review

Suburra is a big picture that never loses track of the small details, and these bring the characters, and the realistic action sequences, to life. Go to Full Review

rodrick b 04/30/2021 They say, that in film the audience is willing grant suspension of disbelief. But this shit was so unrealistic & unbelievable that there's no way I could grant suspension of disbelief. BAD CASTING. See more 11/22/2020 The plot is quite interesting as it shows all the intricacies of modern day crime in a city like Rome, where thugs, old style criminality and politics all come together and fight to get a slice of the pie. The main characters are shaped very nicely, I like both Aureliano and Spadino as well as Samurai, the main antagonist of the series. Good acting from the cast, all of them do decent a decent job. I still have mixed feelings vs season 3; I think it's not at the height of the previous two and it feels like it was hastily put together to hit the release of the season. Nice soundtrack as well as the aerial view of Rome throughout the series. See more 06/13/2020 I was excited to watch this movie based upon the rather good Netflix series but was deeply disappointed! The story does not go anywhere and murdering, hardcore gangsters travel around Rome with NO bodyguards allowing any Giancarlo, Giuseppe, or Sofia to kill them as they leave their mum's front door! If you can suspend realism and do not mind the slow, meandering pace it gets a 6/10! The reviews on this Website are so over complimentary I wonder if these people saw the same film or wouldn't know a good movie from a box of nails. See more 05/19/2020 Un ritratto della malavita romana e dei suoi tentacoli; potente, graffiante e crudo. Favino, Borghi, Germano, tutti splendidi e completamente credibili. Colonna sonora semplicemente meravigliosa e ottima fotografia. Uno dei migliori film italiani degli ultimi anni a mio avviso, e ingiustamente a secco di premi. See more 07/08/2019 Not bad for an Italian See more 04/19/2019 What a joke! An insult to italy and to any one who can read more than a full paragraph without buring his brain.
