    We Need to Talk About Kevin

    Reviewed by

    This story, if told by a competent film-maker, would have been gripping, moving and powerful. As it is, it's a dog's breakfast, self-indulgent, gimmicky. It's neither a horror movie, nor an insightful psychological drama. Nothing seems connected, the symbolism ends up being unintentionally comic, and narrative line, relationships, and meaning of the story all get lost in a heavy handed, predictable, non-suspenseful mess. The writing is heavy handed and often ludicrous. Who is Kevin's mother? Why is she the way she is? How did she get together with the dad? Why are they such abysmal parents? And mostly, given the un-helpful disorienting flashbacks, and lack of context, who cares!
