A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It tells you what's going to happen in the end right from the start. They tried to add mystery by confusing you. So you sit there and watch for an hour thinking that you're watching the 80th episode of something without seeing any previous episodes. You try to figure out what you're seeing for a while. Then it gives tiny little explanations that make you say "oooh so that's why the book was red" (there are no red books in the movie. this wasn't a spoiler). But that's it. Tiny explanations for tiny stuff. No big picture at the end. It started horribly, as if it's showing the clips from the previous episodes, and ended disappointingly because you already know what happened from the start. But you DON'T see the things happening, you just learn as if you're watching the news.Terrible just horrible and dull. Don't waste your time

Well, i do love the movie, but not a kind of movie i will watch twice. The movie was captivating. The acting, the cinematography, the ambience, all is packed in a great way. Even the plot-jumping will not confuse the audience. But i give the score 7 stars out of 10 because the climax is not climax. The story is about a mother, Eva, who has no bond with her son, Kevin, but it's not written why. From the first time Kevin were born, Eva seems stressful. Perhaps she's not ready, or she just doesn't know how to handle baby because she was not expecting him. But we can't say that Eva hates him instead Kevin does. In fact, as the time goes, all we know that Eva keeps trying to love her son, but Kevin hates her still. It is obvious from the way Kevin looks at her, his behaviour is always against her, his manipulating act in front of his father, and he doesn't want his mother happy. One time when Eva tried to teach and play with Kevin, Kevin did something that made Eva lost her patience, and threw Kevin against the wall and broke his arm. Instead of crying, Kevin just looked Eva in hateful. But Kevin kept his revenge plan only for himself, telling it was his fault that broke his arm to the doctor and to his father. But later, he used the scar to threaten his mother.Eva knows something is wrong with Kevin, but everytime Eva tries to talk to her husband, he keeps thinking Eva is exaggerating.When Kevin's sister, Celia, is born and she is the reason for Eva to be happy, Kevin starts to show some violence act, like killing Celia's pet and injuring Celia's eye. This one scene is the first point i feel disappointed. A big hole when they didn't show what happened to Celia's eye, the scene jumped into a time where Eva and her husband sit in a hospital outside Celia's room without telling what has happened. Only after they're having dinner with Kevin and Eva confronts him that Eva will lose her eye because he didn't look after her. If we do not read the book, or the reference, we would not know that it is apparently Kevin poured some cleaner to Celia's eye.The story keeps growing about how Eva and Kevin's relationship as mother and son is not going well, even when Eva keeps trying to have a bond with her son by having a quality time together. But Kevin keeps ruining it. He did all what he had done only to resent his mother.And then when Kevin finally commit the massacre of his school friend, which is supposed to be the climax, i just got more disappointed. Not only they didn't show the massacre -only the bodies after- but a big plot hole here. How on earth did Kevin gather all of the living victims to the hall and make them as a target for his archery skill? By sedating and dragging them? Or by inviting them? Did he tied them onto the wall? Why didn't they fight back? I mean, the victim is not only one and some of them are not helpless women/men. I can not answer it. And that big plot hole ruins a beautiful and brilliant-themed movie that makes me decide to give only 7 score.

In a time today, where an alarming rate of violence and acts of rage are outbreaking in our society ( school shootings being number one problem, in my opinion), We Need To Talk About Kevin is a very important film by todays standards. In can be difficult to watch, however, I loved the movie for mulitple reasons. All the actors and actresses nailed their roles, hands down! For people who shift all the blame on violent video games, music, TV shows when a violent act occurs by a child, I encourage you to watch this movie, and realize once and for all that this is not always the case. Nobody did anything to make this boy hateful, and so full of anger. The mother saw the signs, however, his facade was kept hidden very carefully from the father, who did not see the signs. Every time she wants to have the talk with dad about Kevin, he reassures that he is fine, he is just a kid, leave him alone. He's convinced nothing is wrong. He is wrong. Something is very, very wrong with Kevin. The movie explores an emotionally exhausted mother trying everything she can to bond with her troubled son, but he is showing no signs of interest, comfort, love, or caring towards his mother. He does not want to play with her. As he gets older, the tension does not go away, as the film carefully progresses through the stages of the childs life. From infancy, to the brutal act commited in his late teens, WNTTAK pulls no punches, and delivers the terrifying truth about some children today. Emotional, disturbing as hell, but it is a very important film for todays audience.

This is not an easy film to watch, on any level. If, like me, you immediately begin arguing in your head with the director from the beginning, you will have to drag yourself through it. After about 30 minutes, I just had to roll with it, and it was ultimately rewarding.One of the things I ended up appreciating about the film was its stubborn resistance to giving the audience anything they have come to expect in this type of story. There is no preaching, no messaging, no resolution... just the starkness of the account. That touches on my primary criticism of the film, which I will return to later.A few great choices by the director that undermined any sentimentality or dog whistles to well-worn narratives and debates:The choice to make the dad useless. - The choice to make the setting a relatively wealthy family with apparently few temporal problems or concerns. - The choice to make the home large, impersonal and practically empty. - The choice to sidestep any political distractions of gun ownership. - The choice to portray the parents as highly imperfect or worse.A few minor criticisms:John C. Reilly's character was truly one inch deep with canned lines. He had two functions in the film - to frustrate the mother and to placate the child. And that is exactly what he did. No more, no less.The mother's workplace was too cartoonish and so were her co- workers. It's a crummy place to work full of losers. We get it. No really, stop, STOP, we get it!My primary criticism of the film, however, is that the director made the editing and the facade of the film a giant, unwelcome distraction. It's a gimmick. The story would have been MUCH more powerful had it been told quietly, but instead the entire film is almost dominated by (what I took as) nightmarish portrayals of the inner workings of the mother's mind. This is like the Marilyn Manson remix of what would otherwise be a very subversive and chilling film.
