We Need To Talk About Kevin
A suspenseful and gripping psychological thriller, Lynne Ramsay's WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN explores the fractious relationship between a mother and her evil son. Tilda Swinton, in a bracing, tour-de-force performance, plays the mother, Eva, as she contends for 15 years with the increasing malevolence of her first-born child, Kevin (Ezra Miller). Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN explores nature vs. nurture on a whole new level as Eva's own culpability is measured against Kevin's innate evilness. Ramsay's masterful storytelling simultaneously combines a provocative moral ambiguity with a satisfying and compelling narrative, which builds to a chilling, unforgettable climax. (Source)
Eva is the mother of Kevin, a teenage boy who went on a murderous rampage at his high school, killing several of his classmates. Following the tragedy, Eva is overwhelmed with grief as well as guilt, and she finds herself the target of her community's anger for raising a son who is considered a monster. She moves to a smaller home, endures vandalism, tries to earn a living, and occasionally visits Kevin in prison. In an attempt to cope with this dreadful situation, Eva reaches out in writing to Kevin's father, her estranged husband. (Source)
