Swinton Rocks!
Category: Trailers
Funny thing about this trailer - the title had me in hysterics. With my new job we get to work with a bunch of different people who fly in from interstate and recently we were stuck with a guy called Kevin who could NEVER stop talking. Seriously you could put this guy into cement and the conversation would keep going. So seeing the words KEVIN and TALK in the one sentence was enough to send me into hysterics.
BUT OMG - this trailer is powerful and absolutely brilliant - Tilda Swinton is definitely up for an Oscar nomination for this one. And double OMG Kevin is one evil little shit that should have been drowned at birth.
A suspenseful and psychologically gripping exploration into a parent dealing with her child doing the unthinkable, We Need to Talk About Kevin is told from the perspective of Eva, played by Tilda Swinton in a tour-de-force performance.
Always an ambivalent mother, Eva and Kevin have had a contentious relationship literally from Kevin's birth. Kevin (Ezra Miller), now 15-years-old, escalates the stakes when he commits a heinous act, leaving Eva to grapple with her feelings of grief and responsibility, as well as the ire of the community-at-large. "We Need to Talk About Kevin" explores nature vs. nurture on a whole new level as Eva's own culpability is measured against Kevin's innate evilness, while Ramsay's masterful storytelling leaves enough moral ambiguity to keep the debate going.
Kevin is out next Thursday 17th November apparently. I am surprised I have not seen any trailers playing and would be a bit disappointed if the film is only getting an art house limited release.
