    By Jonathan Crocker from LOVEFiLM

    Based on the best-selling novel, We Need To Talk About Kevin is hard to love but even harder to ignore.

  • Sadly Disappointing

    After reading the book I was excited about this film but I was thoroughly disappointed. However, I can not fault the acting, particularly Tilda Swinton but I just felt it didn't do the book justice. It didn't come across well what she was supposed to be thinking and I think if I hadn't read the book I wouldn't have understood it as well as I did.

    Have not read the book. I found the film engaging if a little hard work to get into initially. Would recommend it.

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    Great performances throughout the film from all involved. I wouldn't say it was a pleasure to watch as I disliked the 2 main protagonists in the film as it was obviously made to do. But I guess that compliments the quality of the acting. It isn't obvious without knowing what the underlying theme behind the story is, which could lead to confusion when watching it. Worth a watch as it is a film which will throw us so many different opinions.

    Strangely compelling but be prepared! The film keeps moving about from one time period to another. Even the 'present' dashes about a bit. The past more or less follows the sequential story of Kevin from birth to age 16. Dialogue is rare. Most amazing thing is the casting - actors who look like older versions of the original Kevin but don't seem to be related.
