True. And I should have point...Ezra Miller is good. True. And I should have pointed that out. I think I was just so shaken by his character that I forgot to (or couldn't make myself) mention it. When that shot arrives of his father and his sister in the yard (you know the shot)......my jaw LITERALLY fell open.

The film does tend to treat Kevin's potential diabolical nature as something of a horror-villain trope in that it's not examined, which is possibly just indicative of how ineffable it is, but I like things explains and it doesn't HURT the film essentially for me, but it has bugged me all these months.<br /><br />And, how fantastic is Ezra Miller? Sure, Tilda is good, but Ezra Miller!!! Also, seconded, the first paragraph of Ruth above (obviously).Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-57620170593267142572012-07-16T20:03:37.816-05:002012-07-16T20:03:37.816-05:00Thanks, Ruth!

I LOVE your writing Nick, seriously!!<br /><br />I didn't know the director was Scottish, very interesting. I had trepidation about watching this movie, and your reaction about light-headed-ness, etc. is what I was afraid of. Still I WANT to see this, I think Tilda is just phenomenal (she's Scottish too isn't she?), I haven't seen a bad performance out of her yet.<br /><br />That Ezra Miller also looks sooo darn creepy in the poster/trailer, he gives me the hibby jibbies!!<br /><br />The title of this movie is brilliant as well, it gives me the chills just thinking about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
