WN2TAK is, as you may know, a film particularly popular with cinema reviewers. This because the film features a number of visual storytelling techniques which, in *the art* are considered to be a sign of great workmanship.
And the story sucks.
The titular Kevin is a child that grows up showing more and more signs of being a psychopath.
And that's it. That's the whole story.
Now, while the aforementioned techniques may be, say, useful if placed at the service of a interesting story, that would be a completely different situation than just Tilda Swinton "showing a vast degree of emotion", because the way the filmography and the acting is used in WN2TAK is purely self-serving. There is no great story to tell, the script is not even remotely entertaining, it's literally just a kid looking evil and a mother looking scared.
This kind of garbage needs to stay in Cannes. I WANT A SCRIPT. I want a story that has some creativity to it, something that i would be intrigued to hear more from a simple basic description, and not just "kid growing up, family thinks he's a psycho, they were right".
I would vehemently dissuade people from watching WN2TAK; because you either hate it - which you probably will, if you have some sense in you - or you will love it, which means you too are a pretentious film critic that has completely lost touch with reality.
5/10 - idk, watch The Green Knight maybe, at least it's got color.
