We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)

We Need to Talk About Kevin

We Need to Talk About Kevin follows Eva, a once-successful writer whose life unravels as she tries to come to terms with the increasingly disturbing behavior of her son, Kevin. Told in a fractured, often nonlinear way of flashbacks and present-day reckoning, the film slowly builds an unnerving portrait of a mother’s ambivalence, a child’s chilling detachment, and the moral questions that bind them. Viewers can expect a slow-burning, psychologically intense experience—taut, atmospheric direction, stark imagery, and a haunting tonal score—that keeps you unsettled and guessing as it moves toward a shocking, tragic climax. The film is as much about guilt, responsibility, and the murky border between nature and nurture as it is about the crime at its center, leaving you with lingering questions and emotional discomfort long after the credits roll.
