FOUR STARS! Tilda Swinton plays the suffering mother of a teen killer. Adapting Lionel Shriver's bestselling novel, director Ramsay vividly captures her nervous breakdown as she struggles with memories of her son and the repercussions of his actions. Is the boy (Ezra Miller as a teen, Jasper Newell as a child, both excellent) psychotic from birth? Ramsay wisely avoids easy answers. Instead, she creates a lifelong chess match between an emotionally absent mother and her embittered son. –Now Magazine
