Review of We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) by Hannah M — 23 Sep 2012
Though the choppy, dreamy editing between present and past makes it difficult to tell sometimes what is *actually happening*, this movie is fascinating once it gets going. I found myself fascinated by the character of Kevin, simultaneously terrified and intrigued, wanting to find out what was going on in his head.
Of course the audience never really gets that satisfaction, but it's an incredible journey all the same. The dynamic of the relationship between Kevin and his mother is something that really sucked me into it, and I couldn't look away - very "train wreck.
" Movies like this really make me a little annoyed that 2012's Best Picture nominees were so humdrum.
