We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) feels like a remake of Halloween told from the point of view of Michael Myers' mother. There are some great shots in this movie, and Tilda Swinton and Ezra Miller are very good, BUT listening to the commentary, it sounds like they wanted it to be that Eva and Kevin's relationship is muddled and complex. That would have made for a good story, but Kevin is portrayed as a psychopath from birth, and I just don't believe it as anything more than a B-grade horror movie.
