Roberto Z @RT51077733 Jul 17 If you're looking for slashers, or gore, this is not the movie for you. But if you're into psychological suspense/thriller, then you're in the right place. It's a deeply unsettling film that keeps you on edge. It raises a great question: does malice — does being a sociopath — come from birth, or is it shaped by the circumstances a person lives through as a child? To me, this movie makes it clear that some people are simply born with that kind of evil mind. And if no one addresses it in those early years, that hatred and malice quietly learn how to live and interact with society, waiting for the right moment to explode and hurt whoever gets in its way. It's a hard movie to watch, but it explores an important theme — one that makes you think. There's a moment where he says TV has gotten worse than ever, that people watch shows about people like him — sociopaths — instead of stories about how great someone is at geometry (or something along those lines). That line has stuck with me. See more Alex F @AlexFinch Jul 7 Why are all the negative comments either "ew nonlinear storytelling" or "the mother wasn’t a selfless angel hero and that’s bad?" In this house, we love flawed characters and nonlinear storytelling, and we love suspense over shock value. If you came into this movie to watch a graphic shooting, the Columbine footage is on Internet Archive. If you came into this movie looking for a story, then you’re in luck. Be patient and focus on what’s actually happening and the motifs and why the fk is Kevin wearing too-small clothes all the time, is it really just to reflect poorly on his mother and torture her more or is it a strange display of sexuality, and does he actually need to eat or does he only eat as a method of psychological warfare? God I love this movie. See more Ant W @Truelinkx2 Jul 5 Extremely boring! The worst case of cinematic blue ba||s I've ever had. See more Nicolas G @Samuel_Goldmann May 28 awefull to watch. watch it! See more R T @Pinagong777 May 28 clearly the mother was going through something but it doesnt excuse her actions towards her son, the father was too ignorant on the other hand. give your children love and attention, no harm in asking for help too. just dont be ignorant See more Sina K @SInak May 22 We Need to Talk About Kevin ultimately fails because it trades genuine psychological depth for unrelenting, manipulative misery. Instead of offering a nuanced look at parental anxiety, the narrative presents a cartoonishly evil villain from birth and pairs him with frustratingly oblivious parents. It is an exhausting slog through pure shock value that confuses relentless bleakness with actual profundity, leaving you feeling more punished than provoked. See more Read all reviews
