After a nine-year absence from the screen, acclaimed Scottish director Lynne Ramsay returns to the screen with We Need to Talk About Kevin, an intimate and disturbing look at a mother confronting very dark truths about her teenage son. Based on Lionel Shriver’s Orange Prize-winning bestseller of the same name, the film stars Tilda Swinton in a heartbreaking performance as Eva, a once-vibrant woman who finds herself re examining her life and role as a mother, and her possible complicity in the fact that Kevin has always been evil.
