Film Screening: WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN

"There are so many great things happening on almost every level of this movie, from Swinton's haunting, magnetic and tremendously vulnerable performance..." 
- Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

"Tilda Swinton delivers one of the finest performances of her career as an American woman grappling with grief and guilt... once a bohemian free spirit brimming with acerbic intelligence, [she] looks as though she's been flayed raw by tragedy." 
- Jason Best, Movie Talk

"As Eva, Tilda Swinton is sublime. Her strange beauty, so etiolated and androgynous, 
has never been better used."
- David Sexton, This is London

WINNER, Best Film London Film Festival

A suspenseful and gripping psychological thriller, Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin explores the factious relationship between a mother and her son. 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.
