We Need to Talk About
Kevin (2011)
Based on the novel of
the same name this film from directory Lynne Ramsay stars Tilda
Swinton, John C. Reilly and Ezra Miller. A mother struggles to raise
and come to terms with the actions of her son.
This film is an
excellent mood piece that skirts around the edge of being a horror
film while focusing on the physiological destruction of the
protagonist. Using a non linear structure the film is about to skip
about the time line of the story ominously hinting at events in a way
that will keep you hooked right up to the end. Where the film is
weaker is in that the antagonist is just a gimmick and makes no
attempts to explain or understand the reasons for his actions.
4/5
