Eva puts her ambitions and career aside to give birth to Kevin. The relationship between mother and son is difficult from the very first years but when Kevin is 15 he does something irrational and unforgivable in the eyes of the entire community. Eva is left grappling with her own feelings of grief and responsibility - did she ever love her son? And how much of what Kevin did was her fault?
*****
"Stunningly directed and brilliantly written, this is a haunting, provocative and emotionally devastating drama with an Oscar-worthy central performance from Tilda Swinton." - Matthew Turner, View London
*****
"In the hands of fearless director Lynne Ramsay, a controversial novel has become an upsetting, dramatically heightened cinematic experience" - Donald clarke, Irish Times
*****
‘We Need to Talk about Kevin’ is thought-provoking, confident and fearless. It’s experimental but never alienating and horrific in all the right ways. It’s great to have Ramsay back behind the camera after too long an absence. Bring on the next one. -Dave Calhoun, Time Out
