Why watch this film?

A good movie that deals with psychology, without ever talking directly about treatments or therapies, is the sad and daring 'We Need To Talk About Kevin'. Here, filmmaker Lynne Ramsay ('You Were Never Really Here') breaks the narrative into a fragmented plot to talk about a boy (Ezra Miller) who kills classmates at school. From there, with power and dedication, the filmmaker speaks of the effects of this act on the boy's family - with a special focus on the mother, brilliantly played by Tilda Swinton. It's sad, it's reflective, and above all, it draws attention to the importance of psychological support for families.
