Lyric Cinema — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:52:32 +0000

1 hour, 52 minutes (R)

Director: Lynne Ramsay

Starring: Tilda Swinton , John C. Reilly , 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.
