About this movie

A suspenseful and gripping psychological thriller, Lynne Ramsay's WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN explores the fractious relationship between a mother and her evil son. Tilda Swinton, in a bracing, tour-de-force performance, plays the mother, Eva, as she contends for 15 years with the increasing malevolence of her first-born child, Kevin (Ezra Miller).
Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, 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. Ramsay's masterful storytelling simultaneously combines a provocative moral ambiguity with a satisfying and compelling narrative, which builds to a chilling, unforgettable climax.

This was extremely boring in my opinion. And the sex scene between John Reilly and Tilda Swinton scared my mind. Extremely slow moving film that tries to take itself TOO serious, wants to be artsy, jumps around in timeline constantly (not hard to follow, just annoying) and the dialogue was dull. A bunch of brooding looks and scenes with Tilda Swinton looking drugged while staring at a wall.

Other than the cast this movie basically sucked. Slow moving, annoyingly lengthy scenes of tilda simply walking around while you were forced to listen to crappy ragtime music, and skipped around needlessly. Im fine when movies don't go in chronological order but they heavily missed the mark on this one. BORING

.....um, if I could rewind my life and take back the time I spent watching this garbage, I really would! 😂 utterly ridiculous, boring and just an all around stupid movie! If Erza Miller wasn't going to play the flash soon, I would never watch another movie he was in. LOL stop with this nonsense please?! Thanks
