Movie Review: We need to talk about Kevin
Written by Elka Schaimberg
Wednesday, 08 February 2012 12:41
DIRECTOR: LYNNE RAMSAY
STARRING: TILDA SWINTON, JOHN C REILLY AND EZRA MILLER
A psychological thriller that follows Eva Khatchadourian (Tilda Swinton), a successful travel writer and once free spirit who falls into misery after the birth of her son. From the very moment Kevin is born, the colicky boy proves too much for Eva to handle.
The cracks in her marriage to husband Franklin (John C. Reilly) begin to show as Eva must now abandon her career and apartment she loves for a child she hates.
As Kevin (the boy is played by Jasper Newell and the teenager by a creepy Ezra Miller) grows up, he becomes more difficult to handle and expresses a mysterious hatred for his mother. Things become even worse when his younger sister (Ashley Gerasimovich) arrives.
The teenager then commits an unspeakable crime that leaves Eva depleted, guilt-ridden and a total public outcast. Was her son born evil, or did his mother make him that way?
Swinton delivers a brilliant portrayal of a completely broken mother, desperate to go back in time.
We need to Talk about Kevin is an intense, thought-provoking film that will leave you “talking about Kevin” long after the credits roll.
