Tilda Swinton is the perfect actress in my eyes. You must be a chameleon adapting to whatever role is given to you. It is not just in her slightly androgynous appearance and demeanor but in her natural gift to act, she is perfect.
Like a wounded and terrified animal running on guilt and hindsight, Eva (Swinton) is barely living, flinching at the sound of her own name.
The United States has had its fair share of massacres at schools across the country. There have also been numerous films made, some based on reality, others in fantasy but the one thing they all have in common is the exploitative nature, focusing on the massacre itself. This is where We Need to…

The main reason I put off watching this for so long is its source material. Lionel Shriver's novel is an amazing piece of fiction that gnaws on your soul by asking the toughest questions imaginable without granting its readers the comfort of easy answers. It explores the age old discussion on nature versus nurture. It does so by relating a story about a boy committing an evil deed, presented through a series of letters written by the boy‘s mother. She is constantly asking herself whether it is her fault that her son is the way he is or whether he was born evil. It also shows how something like a high-school shooting affects a community, but moreover the family members…

it’s rare that you see a drama utilize sound so well, but this one puts any other one that tries to shame. ugggghhhgh it’s so well done. not to mention the gritty cinematography to pair it with. cap it off with a nice screenplay and good performances. and don’t forget that time that john c. reilly called his sociopath son ‘donald trump’ as a pet name
part of a list i made myself for the month of october! if you have any suggestions or know where to watch any of these movies, the comments section is a safe space to share (i hope) -
Wow what a film... On the edge of your seat for sure. Not because of anticipation of what will come next persay but the implications of what you are seeing on screen realized and the true nail biting horror of that. Tilda is amazing as a mother who tries so hard yet still fails. Explored the fragility of being a parent and how it's not always the parents fault when things go astray. A deeply moving and thought provolking film.

I finally sat down and watched this from beginning to end.
1. This made me cry 13 minutes in. Cried multiple times.
2. The opening shot of the tomato festival is incredibly visceral.
3. The idea of Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly having a kid who looks like Ezra Miller is the scariest part of the film.
4. There are so many beautiful and haunting shots in this film. -
