WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN!!!!!

We Need to Talk about Kevin is a 2011 British-American drama thriller film adapted and directed by Lynne Ramsay from American author Lionel Shriver's 2003 novel of the same name. A long process of development and financing began in 2005 and filming eventually commenced in April 2010, with Tilda Swinton starring as Eva Khatchadourian, Kevin's mother. The film premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and was released in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2011. 




Teenager Kevin Katchadourian (Ezra Miller) is in prison after committing a massacre at his High School and killing his father and little sister using a high tech bow and arrow set. His mother, Eva (Tilda Swinton), a once-succesful travel agent, lives alone in a run-down house and works in a mall travel agency in a town near the prison where she visits Kevin. She looks back at her memories of him growing up as she tries to cope with the anger and hostility of her neighbors, who know her to be Kevin's mother. Her memories are shown in flashbacks.
In October 2009, IFC Films picked up the rights to international sales, and made pre-sales at the American Film Market. Artificial Eye distributed the film in the UK from 21 October 2011. Oscilloscope Laboratories will distribute the film theatrically in North America in the winter of 2011.
