Blu-ray Review: Tilda Swinton Captivates in ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’
Submitted by mattmovieman on June 1, 2012 - 8:22amCHICAGO – Many critics failed to take Lynne Ramsay’s “We Need to Talk About Kevin” seriously, dismissing it as an art house retread of “The Omen.” Such a simplistic label fails to take into account the film’s carefully textured portrait of a deeply fractured mother-son relationship. Though the film takes its premise to melodramatic extremes, it does harbor considerable insight into the repercussions of a disconnect between parent and child.
