We Need to Talk About Kevin
We really do.
What the hell made him this... insane? Is it really possible to be born that way? I highly doubt it.

I really think it was the way his mother raised him. She was a terrible parent.

I thought she did a pretty decent job trying to raise such a difficult child practically on her own. Remember, he'd been horrible since birth with a hatred especially towards her to begin with. The movie didn't give me an explanation why. And yes Fortunato, it's a quite good slowburner with terrefic acting.

Remember, there is only one point in the film where we saw Eva's frustration drives her to throw Kevin against the wall, breaking his arm and later at the end Kevin tells her that was the only honest thing she did with him. The thing is as a kid anyone can be so vulnerable that a tiny little incident, action-reaction or behavior or comment can affect our mind so heavily that may left a lifelong impact on us. The interesting thing is the cold & hateful mother-son relationship between Eva & Kevin doesn't affect Kevin's relationship with his father or may be he was just showing that off to Eva all the time. Universally, spiritually or genetically, the most lovable & beautiful relationship in the world is a mother-son relationship. So how or at what point a mother can think something bad or hateful about her son or how someone whether as a kid or adult can think or do something hurtful to his/her mother? There are plenty of examples of hate & annoyance but the truth is undeniably a mother's love & affection for her child is so much incomparable, eternal & uniquely powerful that we won't find any single evidence of a human being who doesn't realize that power & affection or regret even for a moment for doing something better for his/her mother when they were close or alive after losing them forever. Even with such a rare, strange & hateful story of a mother & son, WNTTAK comes with an amazing final revelation where both of them realizes that undeniable truth. IMO, this is not just a story about a mother-son relationship, it's a fantastic character study of human psych & love. A very much needed watch for everyone.

It looks like a really good film, but very heartbreaking.
