3. We Need to Talk About Kevin - Directed by Lynne Ramsey
Starring: Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, Ezra Miller
0 Oscar Nominations
Gripping, disturbing, riveting, but undeniably beautiful, We Need to Talk About Kevin is a frightening portrait of a doomed family with a violent, destructive force living within the eldest child. John C. Reilly takes a break from comic acting to deliver a naturalistic performance as an ignorant father blind to the evil that resides in his own offspring, while Ezra Miller, playing the titular Kevin, portrays that evil perfectly giving it a face, a voice, and a physicality. This brilliantly directed and adapted horror/drama showcases a parent's worst fears, featuring vivid camera work and a nonlinear narrative structure placing the film's centerpiece tragedy as an emotional climax. It's a grim tale fueled by darkness that is far from widely accessible, but it features an undeniably captivating performance from Tilda Swinton. She's a revelation as the embodiment of confusion and despair associated with this harrowing parental nightmare. It's one of those performances that will resonate for years to come, a shoe-in for an Oscar nomination but more than worthy, dare I say, of an Oscar win.
