    The movie sparked an opinion: Fucking bitch's mother or my son is the devil. The film describes the whole thing in two-line development, the soundtrack is slightly ironic, the cold photography is very sad, and Theda Swindon successfully plays the mother of a demon son. The director made this "alternative" and "thriller"...

    I have never been so bored by a character. If the film uses the Kevin incident to reflect on the education of young people and other issues in the family and society, then the handling is really unconvincing. Kevin is a natural The devil, the extension of a series of events is mainly due to the evil nature of the characters themselves; editing, the use of some elements such as color; Tilda's wonderful...

    3.5 I don't know why I always thought that this film was the sister of "Carnage-2011", and later I thought it was probably the sequel to the Devil's Child, an unpiloted prequel. The question behind "what's wrong with Kevin" is "what's wrong with Eva". In the end, he even killed his sister and father, leaving his mother alone to face it all. Isn't this another Medea? At the Christmas party, my colleagues asked Eva to dance after being rejected, and the scene was too...

    The editing is extremely sharp, breaking the traditional linear narrative, using interludes and flashbacks, constantly transforming time and space, and splicing pieces of video and sound fragments together in a jigsaw puzzle to form how a boy became a murderous demon. This film is a powerful attack on social and family issues, how parents should raise their children, how to educate their children, what happened to Kevin, why he became a murderer, a depressing upbringing, a child-miserable...

    A life that is not respected naturally does not respect life. This is a tragedy for everyone. It is too late for the son to look back, and the mother cannot redeem it. Showing the reasons for the formation of the so-called anti-social personality in this way helps to clarify the "spiritual world" of both parties behind the label. It seems that the movie is on the side of the family of the "perpetrator" and makes the mother a victim, but it can be said that it is all her fault (don't know how to...

    [B] The narrative mode parallels memory and reality, and the sharp editing on the outside and the various styles of photography together allude to the heroine's broken psychology. Tilda's acting is extraordinary, and Ezra's temperament is a perfect match for the film. The film also only tells the audience how this human tragedy happened, but not why it happened. Both the characters in the play and the audience feel regretful and confused about such a tragedy. Maybe there is really no reason for...

    8.0 Lynn Ramsey's handling is too good. The fragmented narrative and extremely depressing atmosphere made this supposedly bloody, boring story very interesting, but doing so caused the movie to fall into another dead end. : Why on earth did Kevin do this? How did he become like this? The movie can't give the answer, maybe even Kevin himself doesn't know, which also led to a decline in my perception, so let's praise Tilda and Miller for their superb acting skills, Miller really feels like a...

    The lingering feeling of depression is not comparable to many superficial American movies. Mother-son love and hatred (even Oedipus complex at the psychoanalytic level), social and youth culture consumes violent entertainment (games, archery), media pursues sensory stimulation and reports "devil"... The beginning is disturbing Feeling (color filter, tomato red like a memory and a dream, red paint, echoing the blood color later); use the lute song "House of Flying...

  • [repeated line]

    Eva: Franklin, where are you? Pick up the goddamned phone!

  • Franklin: Kev, Mom had something that she wanted to tell you.

    Eva: [Eva looks appalled and despite her efforts she finds that this time, she is unable to fake any sort of love towards Kevin] I wanted to... thank you for calling the ambulance.

    Franklin: ...And?

    Eva: And I was concerned... that you might be feeling... RESPONSIBLE.

    Kevin: Why is that?

    Eva: [on the verge of snapping] Because you were SUPPOSED to be looking after her!

    Franklin: We just don't want you to blame yourself.

    Kevin: No. I don't... I mean I... I never said I did.

    Eva: ...She's going to need a GLASS EYE, Kevin.
