The Great Movie Project: A Very Impolitic Post: We Need to Talk About Kevin (2012)

The Great Movie Project: A Very Impolitic Post: We Need to Talk About Kevin (2012)


I certainly had a strong reaction to the film and your fantastic review; I’ve read many of your reviews in the past and I love your nature of writing. I recently saw “We Need to Talk about Kevin” on a business trip for Dish. It’s astonishing how much flack Eva takes after such a horrific situation not of her own demise. Swinton’s portrayal of this character is brilliant as always, and I feel that Reilly is in his element outside his usual comedies; disturbing dramas are perfect for him. I cannot find anything that prepared me for the on slaughter upon my mind; I can see easily why this film took the Cannes. Subscribing to Blockbuster @Home, I have been enjoying streaming films to my laptop from Reilly’s past as well as Tilda Swinton’s outstanding career. There is nothing better for a frustrating missed connection then some alarming element of vulnerability in the American dream tragedy category.
