We Need to Talk About Kevin



Lynne Ramsay : 2011

Eva Khatchadourian puts her ambitions and career aside to give birth to Kevin. The relationship between mother and son is difficult from the very first years. When Kevin is 15, he does something unimaginable and unforgivable in the eyes of the entire community. A once-successful travel writer, Eva now lives alone in a run-down house and works in a travel agency in a town near the prison where she visits Kevin. As she looks back at her memories of him growing up, she grapples with her own feelings of grief and responsibility. Did she ever love her son? And how much of what Kevin did was her fault? This suspenseful and emotional psychological thriller, combining a provocative moral ambiguity with a compelling narrative, explores the fractious relationship between a mother and her malevolent son.
