Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

My son has been told by his friend about the movie Suburra. Me and my son watching it. It's so complicating for me till Episode 4 I got it to understand the show. We have 4 more episodes to go then wait till next year. Keep up good work. This is my first watching Italian show on Netflix.

Italy has made some of the best movies and TV series on the Mafia. Stefano Sollima had previously directed GOMORRA, but I find SUBURRA better in terms of acting, photography, direction, and action sequences. The story unfolds against a time frame of seven days to "Apocalypse" - which, I assume, will be an all-out war among the various underworlds in Rome. It offers the usual menu of gloriously beautiful women having sex with corrupt politicians; underhand interests; treacherous souls; overbearing murderers; drug addicts and underdogs... and also an insight into the power and menace of the Catholic Church.An American Pit Bull Terrier that provides a truly terrifying sequence at the end, and there are a few other brutal interactions among characters you hope never to meet in your life. In between all the sordid souls and motivations, there is, however, love. There is love for a child who gets kidnapped (and that is all you get to know about him, one suspects there's no way back for him) and there's love in the ruins of this criminal microcosm. It does not matter that that love emanates from drug users, it still grows like a flower in asphalt, and it provides a solitary ray of hope. Ultimately and unexpectedly, the minnows have a say and you come away feeling that it is a great thing you were not born, and do not live, in the slums - or, for that matter, in the posh suburbs - of Rome.

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.

What I thought I was watching was a puzzling cross section of the modern roman social and political panorama, a glimpse into the luxuriant local fauna made of creepy characters, politicians, religious men and criminals that fill everyday's Italian commentaries. Until a certain point it was sadly authentic even if I personally found the overall stile a little redundant with an overwhelming and intrusive soundtrack that, together with an accurate cinematography gave me that "MTV videoclip" sensation. Then the ultimate "pop" turning point, with the last "revenge of the nerds" 15 minutes. There was no need to it, the movie already told us everything it needed to and that was good, why ruining it all with that comics style ending..?
