Review of We Need to Talk About Kevin

Guaranteed to haunt you for days, and possibly prompt a rethink on your position on parenthood.There are so many great things happening on almost every level of this movie, from Swinton's haunting, magnetic and tremendously vulnerable performance. Tilda Swinton delivers one of the finest performances of her career as an American woman grappling with grief and guilt... once a bohemian free spirit brimming with acerbic intelligence, [she] looks as though she's been flayed raw by tragedy. Although this is more a psychological drama than a horror in the traditional sense, it possesses an ability to shock that most modern chillers can't touch.
