Dear Friend. In her first leading role outside the castle walls of Hogwarts (though strangely, still in the 90s), Emma Watson turns American adolescent as she welcomes you to the island of misfit toys. If you’re still reading and not too busy cringing your face inside out, you might find a lot to like in Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Not as Madame Bovary, obviously. That’d be stupid.

Tilda Swinton shines as the troubled mother of an even more troubled child. Though ‘shines’ is probably the wrong word to use for such a startingly bleak performance.

It’s one of the most talked about films of 2011. You’d basically be a fool if you didn’t own We Need To Talk About Kevin. Helpfully, we’ve got 3 copies to give away…

Fancy winning Afterschool on DVD? Of course you do! You could watch it after school (or after work if you’re a grown-up).

Oh Tilda, how do we love thee…

GO ON GARY

A superbly upsetting film, We Need to Talk About Kevin sees Lynne Ramsay and Tilda Swinton join forces to emotionally brutalise their audience in a fantastically realised adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s beast of a book.

and… we need to talk about it?
