‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’

By Andrew Kilroy

We Need to Talk About Kevin is one of the best thrillers of all time. Legendary director Lynne Ramsay adapted the novel and masterfully builds tension in the film that leads to a horrifying finale. Tilda Swinton stars as Eva, an isolated woman who reflects on the years raising her now-convict son, Kevin (Ezra Miller).  As the film progresses, you discover what happened to Eva’s husband (John C. Reilly) and family, and the events that ultimately led to her downfall. The film is currently streaming on Peacock, so be prepared to be spooked!
