We Need to Talk About Kevin

We Need to Talk About Kevin is a brilliant film with excellent writing and truly superb directing. The performances are fantastic especially from Tilda Swinton who gave an Oscar worthy performance and from Ezra Miller who quite frankly wasn’t even acting. 8.5/10

am i the only one that feels bad for the mom? she tried to take kevin to the doctor as a baby & constantly expressed her concerns to her husband but was brushed off. she attempted to be there for her son knowing he wasnt right, so idk how any of it is her fault. idk, my opinion

oh

so…i’m never having kids! thank you Lionel Shriver!

8.3 - This was disturbing & at times very hard to watch. (And I’m weird) & I really like movies like that.

Parenting is hard enough as it is, & I can’t even imagine what I’d do if my kid was a clearly manipulative sociopath from day one.

The time hopping, disjointed edit was a little confusing at first, but once it settled in, it worked really well for the story. It’s probably my favorite Tilda Swinton performance, though not my favorite movie featuring Tilda Swinton. It’s also an incredible performance from Ezra Miller, but I can’t help but ask, knowing what we know now, how much of that is because Ezra Miller is not a good guy.

Definitely not a revisit I want to ever make, but an uncomfortable experience I’m glad I finally took after it’s been sitting in my watchlist for literal years.
