And how much of what Kevin did was her fault?

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Tilda Swinton gives a tour-de-force performance in an impressionistic film about guilt, regret and loss (...) as perplexing as it is intriguing" (Richard Brody: The New Yorker)

----------------------------------------
"As a portrait of a deteriorating state of mind, "We Need to Talk About Kevin" is a masterful film (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"Ms. Ramsay, with ruthless ingenuity, creates a deeper dread and a more acute feeling of anticipation by allowing us to think we know what is coming and then shocking us with the extent of our ignorance" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)
