Product Information
A tormented mother grapples with feelings of accountability and intense grief after her troubled 15 year old son commits an act of violence that shakes their community to its very core. Eva (Tilda Swinton) had a promising career when an unplanned pregnancy threw her life off balance, though she selflessly put her own ambitions aside to give her son Kevin a good life. From the moment Kevin was born, there was a palpable tension between mother and son. Years later, as a teenager, Kevin (Ezra Miller) snaps. As the community recoils from Kevin and his family, Eva begins to question whether or not she ever really loved her son in the first place. John C. Reilly co-stars in this psychological drama based on the novel by Lionel Shriver, and directed by Lynne Ramsay (RATCATCHER, MORVERN CALLAR).

Reviews
Variety - An exquisitely realized adaptation of Lionel Shriver"s bestselling novel. In a rigorously subtle performance as a woman coping with the horrific damage wrought by her psychopathic son, Tilda Swinton anchors the dialogue-light film with an expressiveness that matches her star turn in "I Am Love.", Los Angeles Times - It"s a domestic horror story that literally gets to us where we live, a disturbing tale told with uncompromising emotionality and great skill by filmmaker Lynne Ramsay., Time Out New York - The movie toggles between two periods-before and after a catastrophe-and, were it not for Swinton"s magnetism, it would be unbearable. Instead, you"ll want to stay for the wallop., Time - Ramsey"s film has its own strengths. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN doesn"t just bring you to the outskirts of a parent"s worst nightmare; this fever dream of guilt and loss takes you straight inside.
