lol it’s not even close, Lambs is far superior. Se7en is tiresome on rewatches with its relentless, stylized bleakness that feels like fincher was jerking off to blade runner whenever he went to his trailer.
The characters in se7en have barely any depth beyond surface cliches and sentimentality (oh, Somerset is the trench coat/fedora wearing, switchblade throwing, “I’m gettin too old for this **** and lost my family, I’m retiring to build a log cabin” disillusioned guy, YAWN). And Mills is just a retarded football player. The only interesting character is John Doe, but he’s also just an archetype, a Machiavellian villain who gets insanely lucky. Lecter, by contrast, is a genius because of the way he calmly works his way into people’s psyches instead of just getting into shouting matches.
There is no scene in Se7en that compares with the emotional final meeting between Lecter and Starling. Silence of the Lambs is as much of a serious psychological drama film as it is a thriller.
Edit: and that doesn’t mean I’m not a fan of the movie Se7en, but SotL is just better overall.
