We Need to Talk About Kevin, 2011 I finally got round to watching this last night. Lynne Ramsay’s skillfully adapts Lionel Shriver’s excellent book, maintaining the guilt and horror of failing motherhood. As ever, Tilda Swinton’s performance is faultless, while the child and teenage actors who play her son are equally as good The film has a dreamlike and haunting quality that lends itself to Swinton’s portrayal of a mother in an unending state of shell shock. And her son, purposefully wearing ill-fitting cloths to heighten his discomfort of life, perpetuates the question of ‘nature or nurture’ as to the cause of his malevolence. Aside from the film, I’d recommend reading the book as its tone is slightly different, with further content that’s even more shocking

We Need to Talk About Kevin, 2011

I finally got round to watching this last night. Lynne Ramsay’s skillfully adapts Lionel Shriver’s excellent book, maintaining the guilt and horror of failing motherhood. As ever, Tilda Swinton’s performance is faultless, while the child and teenage actors who play her son are equally as good

The film has a dreamlike and haunting quality that lends itself to Swinton’s portrayal of a mother in an unending state of shell shock. And her son, purposefully wearing ill-fitting cloths to heighten his discomfort of life, perpetuates the question of ‘nature or nurture’ as to the cause of his malevolence.

Sound of My Voice, 2011 I think that I’m developing a film-crush on Brit Marling. As with the excellent Another Earth, she co-wrote, co-produced and starred in this film. In comparison, it’s the lesser film of the two, though it explores similar themes of identity within the context of a temporal sci-fi narrative. It’s worth a watch, and both Brit Marling and Christopher Denham turn in good performances, though if you’re squeamish a certain worm-eating scene may sour the taste of your popcorn

The Shout, 1978 I finally watched Jerzy Skolimowski’s eerie horror last night, and loved every minute of it. In amongst the madness, magic and sexual tension, the film is littered with references and symbolism, including allusions to various paintings by Francis Bacon ARTMargins has an interesting review that further explores the themes of the film: The Visual Sonority of Francis Bacon’s Painting in Jerzy Skolimowski’s The Shout
