It’s not often that we get an assassin or would-be assassin’s side of the story. “Suburban Fury” therefore is not just a cracking good tale, it’s a historical document as well.

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

The inventively crafted film stars the now nonagenarian, almost assassin herself, who guides us through her winding life and its intersection with American history mostly from the back seat of a nondescript car.

It’s an absorbing if slow-moving inquiry [whose] ultimate fascination lies precisely in being about someone who gets less and less cooperative with the filmmaking process.
