About this event
A suspenseful and gripping psychological thriller, Lynne Ramsay’s We Need to Talk About Kevin explores the fractious relationship between a mother and her son, raising the questions between nature and nuture. 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. All of our screenings are 18+ unless otherwise stated, the film starts at the advertised time above. Content Warnings: severe emotional intensity, graphic violence and harm, child and animal abuse. Runtime: 113 minutes Director: Lynne Ramsay Country: USA, UK Year: 2011 Film
