We Need to Talk About Kevin

great and intense movie. ezra miller is an amazing actor.

Horrifying

Intense.

it's VERY intense, but a great movie! tilda swinton and ezra miller are incredible actors.

Fantastic adaptation of a brilliant book that I'd always considered to be unfilmable.

Yes it's a difficult watch, but the intensity of the performances helps you through. The only reason I haven't given it ten is, compared to the book at least, at times it lacks a little subtlety but I can understand why as they needed to attract as wide an audience as possible for what is undoubtedly a tough sell to the mass market.

A good example is the scene of the actual 'incident' itself - while nothing is actually shown in violence terms I still felt it was more powerful without it - by that point everyone should know exactly what happened, without seeing it, and it felt a little like they were pandering to people whose attention had maybe wandered.

It's a minor nitpick though, as on the whole the film is a masterpiece of subtlety as it slowly reveals itself in all it's gut-wrencing horror. Essential viewing for all lovers of film, and even all prospective parents!

There's no twist at the end though!

they should have talked about kevin a tiny bit more

More powerful than the first time watching it back in 2011, definitely a well made film with an all great cast. Ezra Miller needs to take up some villain roles.

This is a very good film with a great plot twist in the end.

Born evil or a product of bad parenting? That's the big question. While it doesn't answer the question directly, it leaves you with a discussion in mind of nature vs nurture, that's for sure. **We Need to Talk About Kevin** isn't horror but it's absolutely terrifying, disturbing, psychological and it'll make you think twice before having kids of your own. I loved that the movie takes place in two timelines, one before a tragic event and one after. While the outcome becomes totally predictable, I was fascinated in knowing what caused the event and that's pretty much the movie, finding out what caused this and the repercussions it has on Swinton's character. Tilda Swinton was absolutely haunting while Ezra Miller was terrifying he gives me the absolute creeps. I love the discussion the movie leaves you when it finishes but I needed more of Kevin, it just feels incomplete. Although tragic events like that usually end up feeling incomplete as everyone always looks for answers but evil doesn't need a reason to do evil. As quoted: *"There is no point, that's the point."*
