Watched an INCREDIBLE movie last night called "We Need To Talk About Kevin" with Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly, its about a family with a very troubled child who eventually goes on to do horrendous things as a young adult, this movie hits right at the heart of our current school shooting epidemic.
This was the first thing i'd ever seen Swinton in and i'll tell you what, THAT girl can act, she is just superb, i am totally blown away by her performance.
Reilly? man, what a career that guys having... from stuff like Talladega Nights and Stepbrothers to heavy lifting like this and Gangs of New York, he can truly do it all.
But the real revelations are the two actors who play Kevin, one as a 5-6 year old, the other as a teen, its just INCREDIBLE how good they both are, particularly the young one, you wont believe how creepy he is, how believeable he is, its uncanny, unsettling.
Heres a word soup for this movie... gripping, provocative, tour de force, ripped from the headlines, chilling, instant classic, emotional trainwreck, awesome, powerful.
I cannot recommend a movie more highly, this is cinema that matters.
