A suspenseful and gripping psychological thriller, Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin explores the factious relationship between a mother and her 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. -- (C) Oscilloscope

Alonso is so picky. He's usually my movie barometer. If he hates it, I'll usually like it.

Let's Talk About Alonso. I know you are happily married but I'm in love.

if you guys read all the freudian theories or understand them, you will understand the movie veryy well!!

God, what a stupid comment. The film is not supposed to educate you, it just tells a story, the story of Kevin and what kind of kid he is and how this transpires in his relationship with his family. Anyway, I hate critics. They're just frustrated failed actors. Some people do have an objective opinion, but most of them are just bitter.

Did that guy second from the left even watch the movie!

[Spartacus217]

@introsis Opinions vary.

[shanah2212]

Alonso is the worst.

@yoyoal123 as opposed to you who knows everything right.

[introsis]

This film was not good.

[funkylovejunkie]

It's good to hear the views of the general public and not just film critics. Although it would be nice to have some film critics next time.
