About

Tilda Swinton stars as Eva, a struggling mother who is attempting to put her life back together and make sense of her son’s violent actions.

Based on Lionel Shriver’s 2003 novel of the same name, Lynne Ramsay’s psychological thriller charts a detached and tense relationship between mother and son. Through a series of flashbacks it troubles the idea of the ‘good life’. Here queer time is not imagined as constructive, but instead envisioned with the terrifying potential of annihilation. Reframed through Ezra Miller’s camp and queer incarnation of Kevin, We Need to Talk About Kevin shows us what happens when an idea is pushed to its limits.
