I'm young and have no kids myself but the ideas in the this story, that you can't connect with your own kid, that he hates you and that you feel largely to blame all scare the hell out of me. It's like giving birth to your worst enemy who you are left to care for 24/7. Nightmare.

I'm just puttin this out there... for his age, that kid is a damn good actor.

What a difference between Kevin and Patrick from Wallflower. Shows you what a talented actor he is. Hope to see more of him.

At the end by throwing back the ball he showed her that he understood her all along and was just f*cking with her this whole time. Already signs of psychopathy.

The boy looks just like how Ezra Miller would look like if he was younger

Doctor: “I wouldn’t worry about it too much” He forgot to add: “but that’s because I’m me. If I were you, I would be terrified.”

This movie is the best horror show about parenting ever. Getting into the actual day to day of how horrible it would be if you had a kid you didn't like and didn't connect with at all. It'd just be a living hell.

I wouldn't have relied on one doctor's opinion. Eva should've taken Kevin to another doctor.

This is a beautiful boy and an amazing actor; to be able to portray all he did at such a young age is absolutely incredible

This movie was soo stressful to watch

I will say one thing. They did a fantastic job with casting actors for the younger versions of Ezra. They actually look like they could be a younger him.

What an adorable looking kid. And he has some acting chops. He can give his mom a mean look and then stare innocently at other people.

The child who plays the young version of Kevin looks sooo cute! If I were his mom, he would hate me even more because I would be hugging him all the time 🥺😅

he's so cute!!!!

He’s a good actor for his age lol huge respect goes to child actors

is no one gonna talk about how long,dark and beautiful his eyelashes are? i’m jealous 😩

I love how Kevin just gives this look at his mom XD 😂

I loved this scene! It gave us a piece of Kevin that I think most people could relate to. This part made me chuckle so much aside from the characters. Also, I feel Ava didn’t want Kevin from day one. You see her crying in an early scene about getting pregnant. Kevin was the end of her traveling and her ‘fun.’ She probably felt she had to keep him and ever say since then, she’s regretted having Kevin. Of course she grew during the movie when she was actually ready for kids and had the daughter.

1:50 that evil smile tho

That boy is beautiful.

Oh my goodness he's so cute! If he's cute when he's frowning imagine him laughing and smiling! ☺

Psychopaths refusal to bond and connect. They show early signs of cold and callous behaviours

Holy shit, even from such an early age, he plays deceiving little tricks, like giving into what she wants only so that once he denies to cooperate again, its only so much more frustrating. Thats bizarre.

HES ADORABLE

Tilda Swinton is heartbreaking in this truly

This little babi is so cute I’m screaming-

Every child is different! Some of them talk or walk much later than others, but they are also completely normal. Later most of them are just like the other children. Give them the time that they need! But all children have something in common : They need love, hugs and again love, period.

Cute but Scary. He has that look that says "I want to bite your finger that's going left and right in front of me."

0:50 how sassy he looks here 😄 so adorable! He's a cutie

Iv seen this film and his mother throughout the movie wasn't the most affectionate person I'm always interacting and encouraging my 15 month old showing him love and affection 24-7 the first 6 years are crucial love your children with everything you've got period

The book starts with " A child needs love when he deserves it the least ' and i agree with it. The mother never loved the child. Didnt want to have the child when she had him. Nurture and the environment build character. Children are born innocent

When he realizes that passing the ball back makes her happy, he refuses further. Im a person who doesnt feel kids are beyond reproach, which means i never give a child and by extension its parent carte blanche to create unbearable nuisances in public "but its just a kid!" Human-shield-isms be damned. Some kids just plain suck. I have a feeling i'll love thus film therefore, lol

What this movie (and the book its based on) do really well is flirt with the age-old question, is psychopathy nature or nurture? On one hand, we see a mother desperately trying to get her baby to engage with her, while he stares at her with hatred. Surely a sign he was evil even then? But on the other hand, listen to the thinly veiled frustration in his mother's voice. He knows his mother dislikes him and she's only pretending to like him because that's what mothers do. Who WOULDN'T be psychologically disturbed by the knowledge that your own mother dislikes and fears you?

How did they get such good child actors that look just like Erza?

The kid is adorable!

He's probably just scared of her haircut

That was 1 of the cutest smiles

Because obviously when you're getting your ear checked the thing never touches your ear, he just let's it hover above it.

Haha right?! And he basically just told a concerned parent of a nonverbal child to chill out. All of my speech/hearing science professors would have a fit if they saw this clip.

At 1:19 it sounds like the doctor says "He's a f*cking little boy isn't he."

This movie will stay with me forever.

The kid has the same look as me when I haven't had my coffee.

Cómo encontraron a niños que lograran actuar tan bien y se parecieran tanto

1:25 just wait doctor..

0:51 that hand is so cute!

0:46 Too Adorable

the poor mom, she seems so sweet

he could hear very well. he was just observing why his mother is so abrazal. She had told him the other day, "Mommy was very happy before little Kevin came along. Now every morning mommy wakes up wishing she were in France!" Imagine what this would have done to the kid's psyche, especially the one who sees a mother everyday frowning to even hug or kiss him. He is angry, like really angry on her. In one of the later scenes he says about his upcoming sister, "what if I don't like her?" His mom says, "Well then you will get used to her." He sniffs while breaking those crayons and says, "Just because we get used to something doesn't mean we like it. You don't like me!" If I were his mother I would have jumped and hugged the baby and asked him million times what made him think so? And that's what Kevin must be expecting, the love. But Eva says, "Well clearly we all get used to people we don't like!" Kevin was a brave boy. He did not shed a tear. He just sucked up to that. Or maybe not because the "bad seed" was already sown into his tender mind.

He's totally messing with her... 🐹

this movie is a type that won't have a sequel BUT I WISH IT DID

Well what ever the kid is cute

When he didn't roll the ball after he did before, it made me think of a cowboy standoff.

Reading feedback on this movie and novel has lead me to believe that people who think children are born as blank slates are people who don't take full responsibility for who they are because they're too busy blaming their parents for it.

A very gifted young actor

Apparently when I was a really young kid I acted like little kevin... thank god I didn't turn out to be a psychopath

...usually they put the scope INTO the ear. Not sure why so many people liked this post. I spent the first 10 years of my life getting ear exams and surgeries, and they always checked inside the ear, not around...

Wow the baby is such a good actor :O

i’d feel as depressed as this kid if i was called *kevin*

I dont think that is true. The baby sister loves Kevin and want his attention and his father spends time with him shooting arrows and stuff. They just don't see the evil in him, which Tilda does, but that doesn't mean they don't care. They just don't believe it to be so. I do not think that the doctor scene was planned to be so. I think that little boys don't like to get things in their ear so to help the actor not to cry they just didn't check the ear proper.

The ultimate Stewie & Louise relationship lol....this movie was amazing and the kids was a sick fuck-yes, the mother could've taken presumptive measures but you also have to look at the dad, whom in my opinion was dumb as hell, how was she supposed to get him help if BOTH the parents weren't completely okay with that?

The sad thing is he was only asking for information, not trying to fight (in the painting scene).

So cute 💓

Best movie I've ever seen

so, i know this was supposed to be creepy and suspenseful but i just found it really funny.

that look on his face in the early part of the clip says that hes gonna be a sociopath

Hes soooo cute with his little demonic stare i swear

Well I have, and the only way to test someone's hearing is through a hearing test!

That is one cute kid!!

the baby is so cute

this is an example of when the ancient spartans would just toss him off a cliff

Rock Duer you are such a cute gorgeous talented lil young man....you are gonna go so far darlin!!!

but why does he hate her so much? is it because he sensed that she resented him?

This is weird, because I’m autistic and when I was four or five I acted like this. Good thing this movie didn’t come out when I was a toddler lol

Trollin at a young age.

0:47 THATVIS SO FUCKING CUTE OHMAHGAWD

cutest little kid oh my god

Almost as if he responded just when he saw her angry and stressed then when she was happy or not begging, he took control again

omg what a cute pretty kid *.*

Can we talk about the SCARY ASS CLOWNS on the wall at the doctor's office. Nice creepy touch.

Based on the haircut, this kid is a little Anton Chigurh.

That "physician" was a joke, she should have looked for a second opinion right after that.

Can we clarify that kid did a very good job at acting.

His name is Rock Duer

Awwwwww

After watching this movie. Having a return policy for children that mothers struggle with would be a great idea. 😂

tbh if I were a floppy toddler in diapers, i probably wouldn't know how to react to this scary woman either, lol

Uhmm. It just occurred how much i acted like kevin as a child... somebody help..

Beautiful boy :)

A parent's nightmare

Did Eva want something to be wrong with him? She almost seemed upset because there WASN'T something wrong with Kevin...I don't know. Kind of seems like it, or is it just me?

Little Kevin reminds me of me

"I do not see the point in this activity." - Kevin, probably

How about this: big props to Adam

Well that guy is also NOT a doctor. I suspect they mightn't have wanted some random actor poking shit into a little kid's ear.

this looks like a really good movie but i dont wanna get sad should i watch it

That is one f*cking scary kid. Imagine giving birth to that? Like something out of The Exorcist.

well shit now because of that i can't see this movie now

He's with dormamu, ancient one

He is amaizing cute with attitude 😎

Why was he like that tho? Why is he wanted his mom to suffer?
