And how much of what Kevin did was her fault?

United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"As a portrait of a deteriorating state of mind, "We Need to Talk About Kevin" is a masterful film (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York 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"	POS
United States	Richard Brody The New Yorker	"Tilda Swinton gives a tour-de-force performance in an impressionistic film about guilt, regret and loss (...) as perplexing as it is intriguing"	POS
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"It's a hallmark of 'Kevin's' emotional bravery and intellectual honesty that the questions haunt us long after the end credits roll"	POS
