We Need to Talk About Kevin

EZRA MILLER: COLLISION BETWEEN FASHION AND ART?

Ezra “The Flash” Miller jumps at any opportunity to dress in an outrageous manner- do you remember his appearance at the Met Gala with multiple sets of eyes? He and Burberry designer Riccardo Tisci have struck up a friendship and the Fantastic Beasts star turned up at the Paris party for Burberry x Anne Imhof – described as a collision between fashion and art. Ezra, who identifies as queer, wore this appropriately puzzling outfit to the event – we can’t figure out what that finger gesture means…any ideas?

LETS TALK ABOUT EZRA MILLER

For whatever reason, we never get tired of looking at Ezra Miller. He’s 24 now and he’s been growing up nicely ever since we first saw him as Tilda Swinton’s malevolent son in “We Need to Talk About Kevin.” He always has that look on his face that implies he knows EVERYTHING. Currently he’s promoting his film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” and will appear as The Flash in his next two movies. So he doesn’t have to worry about money any more…

“THE BAD SEED” WAS A SHOCKING MOVIE FOR ITS TIME

Tilda Swinton’s excellent movie “We Need to Talk About Kevin” brought up the infrequently mentioned subject of child psychopaths and reminded many people of the 1956 movie “The Bad Seed” which was extraordinary for it’s time. Patty McCormack made an indelible impression playing polite but demonic 10 year old Rhoda in “The Bad Seed.” She’s still around and was seen fondling semiprecious stones at Crystalarium on Melrose Avenue. Currently, Patty often guests on TV series like “NYPD Blue” or “Grey’s Anatomy” and starred as Pat Nixon in the Nixon/Frost movie in 2008.

EZRA MILLER: THE NEXT BIG THING – AND HE’S NO JUSTIN BIEBER

Teen girls not interested in the Justin Bieber type will be thrilled to discover the sly, handsome star of “We Need To Talk About Kevin.” (Too bad very few teens will probably see this indie film.) Ezra Miller, 19, is gripping and unsettling as the psychopathic Kevin – he’s pale and goth, with a sinister edge. He’s so convincing in this movie when he torments Tilda Swinton, that his real mother sobbed when she saw the film. And he’s a musician – Ezra is drummer in the New York based band Sons of an Illustrious Father.
