Review of We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) by Zaw M — 08 Dec 2014
We Need to Talk About Kevin had me glued to the screen with unease. The blend of the natural performances, soundtrack, cinematography, lighting and symbolic foreshadowings make this feel like a two hour trance.
The flashbacks teasing the revealing of 'the event' then pulling you back into the present truly paid off in the end, making the actual reveal shocking. By the end, despite very slow pacing in many areas, nearly everything in the narrative tied in together nicely.
We Need to Talk About Kevin is an arthouse nightmare about the upbringing of a sociopath.
