MORVERN CALLAR director Lynne Ramsay hurdles herself into Oscar contention with this riveting adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s bestselling 2003 novel. Tilda Swinton (I AM LOVE) turns in a typically stellar performance as Eva, the mother of a teenage boy (Miller) who commits an unimaginably heinous crime. As she struggles to deal with her grief the story flashes back to before the incident, when snapshots of Eva’s troubled relationship with her son prompt the audience to question whether evil is something that derives from nature or nurture. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN is a powerful domestic drama with a killer twist.

Tilda Swinton (I AM LOVE) is the mother of a teenage boy (Ezra Miller) who commits an unimaginably heinous crime in Lynne Ramsay’s (MORVERN CALLAR) adaptation of the bestselling novel.
