We Need to Talk About Kevin Movie Story Line:- A suspenseful and psychologically gripping exploration into a parent dealing with her child doing the unthinkable, We Need To Talk About Kevin is told from the perspective of Eva, played by Tilda Swinton in a tour-de-force performance. Always an ambivalent mother, Eva and Kevin have had a contentious relationship literally from Kevin's birth. Kevin (Ezra Miller), now 15-years-old, escalates the stakes when he commits a heinous act, leaving Eva to grapple with her feelings of grief and responsibility, as well as the ire of the community-at-large. We Need To Talk About Kevin explores nature vs. nurture on a whole new level as Eva's own culpability is measured against Kevin's innate evilness, while Ramsay's masterful storytelling leaves enough moral ambiguity to keep the debate going.


We Need to Talk About Kevin Movie Review:- I haven't read the novel, so I have no idea how this compares. The film looked and sounded beautiful, but I really wanted a bit more in terms of characterisation and psychological insight. The film is no more than an art house take of the "evil child" horror picture, without the camp pleasures of an Orphan or The Omen. Tilda Swinton, never the most naturalistic of actresses, has been much praised for her performance and does her best but I didn't quite buy this beautifully alien looking creature as a suburban wife and mother and she is almost grotesquely mismatched with John C. Reilly's doofus husband. I think she did a better take on a similar character in the little seen The Deep End, where she played a mother who has to come to terms with the actions of a son who she suspects to be murderer.

Apart from her character, the other players are paper thin. We have to take it on faith that like Damien, her son was simply born evil. Reilly is like any horror movie goon and ridiculously non-perceptive about the bad seed in his family. Almost everybody else in the film is there to torment Swinton's guilt ridden mother.

I'm also rather tired of the by now overused movie device of scrambling up the time line of events, feeding us little bits of information here and there to build up to a series of reveals. In a case like this there is something almost exploitative in teasing us with various horrors to come, especially in the case of the younger sisters eye injury. I think that the film would have benefited from a chronological progression. It's fine when done well (like in the recent Red, White and Blue), but here I just thought "not again" as the film started in a self-consciously disorientating manner.

The film looks beautiful but it's as stylised as a 70s Dario Argento film with expressionistic lighting and cinematography, but at least Argento films like Suspiria didn't ask to be taken seriously and can be taken purely as exercises in style. This struck me as an ultimately empty film with little to say. It's a shame because the subject matter of a mother who just can't love her child has great potential. I assume that the book managed to explore this better.
