We Need to Talk About Kevin

director: Lynne Ramsay
starring: Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly and Ezra Miller

Eva (Tilda Swinton) puts her ambitions and career aside to give birth to Kevin. The relationship between mother and son is difficult from the very first years. When Kevin is 15, he does something irrational and unforgivable in the eyes of the community. Eva grapples with her own feelings of grief and responsibility. Did she ever love her son? And how much of what Kevin did was her fault?

Based on the million-selling Orange Prize winning novel by Lionel Shiver and directed by acclaimed film-maker Lynne Ramsay, We Need To Talk About Kevin is an emotional thriller starring Academy Award Winner Tilda Swinton, Academy Award nominee John C. Reilly, & Ezra Miller.

The film has been one of the most widely praised of the year, with Lionel Shriver, the author of the novel on which the film is based, describing it as "Stunning," and "A brilliant adaptation of my novel."
