We Need to Talk About Kevin Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
montage-69288 This is one that I would rather stare at a pencil than finish. This movie is weird and not in a good way.
onirikesin It tells you what's going to happen in the end right from the start. They tried to add mystery by confusing you. So you sit there and watch for an hour thinking that you're watching the 80th episode of something without seeing any previous episodes. You try to figure out what you're seeing for a while. Then it gives tiny little explanations that make you say "oooh so that's why the book was red" (there are no red books in the movie. this wasn't a spoiler). But that's it. Tiny explanations for tiny stuff. No big picture at the end. It started horribly, as if it's showing the clips from the previous episodes, and ended disappointingly because you already know what happened from the start. But you DON'T see the things happening, you just learn as if you're watching the news.Terrible just horrible and dull. Don't waste your time
PubHound 7 1/2"We need to talk about Kevin" is overall chilling and genuinely terrifying at times, especially after the first half of the movie. It basically shows us the genesis of a psychopath, but without really outlining the reasons behind this genesis or blaming anyone in particular : was it all his mother's fault , was it genetics', was it both? Hard to know. The greatness of this movie resides behind this doubt and a gorgeous directing.
mikey-242-435767 The modern way of making a movie is to present situations and people in them that we have no backstory on. We are simultaneously trying to watch the movie, figure out what is going on and figure out who all these people are as well as what's going on. That's a horrible way to tell a story. I assume that there is some idea of "involving the viewer". Well, most viewers don't want to be "involved", they simply want a story told that they can understand. And any good story needs a base to spring from. Add to all the already mentioned problems that this movie just wanders all over the place in time. You hardly know where you are, when you are and what's going on. So this is bad times about 6 so it will not get more than 2 stars. That's the maximum for such a mess of a movie. I am 33 minutes into this and have so little idea of what is going on that I don't care. And I certainly don't care enough to continue watching it. Bye bye to a piece of utter trash. I might as well be watching Eraserhead again.
