A suspenseful and gripping psychological thriller, Lynne Ramsay’s We Need To Talk About Kevin explores the fractious relationship between a mother and her evil son. Tilda Swinton, in a bracing, tour-de-force performance, plays the mother, Eva, as she contends for 15 years with the increasing malevolence of her first-born child, Kevin (Ezra Miller). Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, We Need To Talk About Kevin explores nature vs. nurture on a whole new level as Eva’s own culpability is measured against Kevin’s innate evilness. Ramsay’s masterful storytelling simultaneously combines a provocative moral ambiguity with a satisfying and compelling narrative, which builds to a chilling, unforgettable climax.

Insane, gory, violent, crazy – but not without meaning. Absolutely perfect. As grotesque as “Taxidermia” is, it is a brilliant film and it is also very powerful. The scenes are explicit and may cause one to be uncomfortable but here is a film that resonates truth.
Gyorgy Palfi’s grotesque tale of three generations of men, including an obese speed eater, an embalmer of gigantic cats, and a man who shoots fire out of his penis. Nothing in cinema’s history can be compared to this. Not a single movie was as violent as this one is sometimes. In some scenes it reminded me of Pasolini’s Salo. But the disgusting and the violent scenes are all meaningful; probably they are a perverse, misshapen mirror of the society. We can’t say, that the leading characters are perverted, because everybody is as much perverted, as the ones we see. Fortunately this unique movie is presented by a big amount of humor – and we simply can’t take the characters totally seriously. Taxidermia is a milestone in film-making, and was worth every single cent of the Sundance money, from which it was made.
