2011 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 2 – Lynne Ramsay’s We Need to Talk About Kevin

Date:

Our critics might have been seeing red, but that’s because Lynn Ramsay’s third film is heavy on the blood colored motif. Stylistically and visually ambitious, this interpretation of the award winning novel on which the film is in parts based on, is drawing support from the home crowd, but its Tilda Swinton layered character and jarring performance that will give We Need to Talk About Kevin wings well into the second week of the Main Competition.
