We Need to Talk About Kevin

Adaptation of Lionel Shriver's novel. A woman looks back on her son's childhood after he commits an act that damages their community and relationship forever.

Eva puts her ambitions and career aside to give birth to Kevin. The relationship between mother and son is difficult from the very first years. When Kevin is 15, he does something irrational and unforgivable in the eyes of the entire community. Eva grapples with her own feelings of grief and responsibility. Did she ever love her son? And how much of what Kevin did was her fault?
