Written by Lynne Ramsay, Rory Kinnear (based on Lionel Shriver's novel of the same name)
Dramatic-thriller starring Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton) and John C. Reilly (Magnolia) as parents trying to cope with a daunting combination of guilt and grief after their teenage son goes on a killing spree.
After an unplanned pregnancy, Eva (Swinton) struggles to find the balance between her very successful writing career and the attention her son needs, despite her husband’s (John C. Reilly) positive enthusiasm towards their newborn. The effects of this negligence become increasingly apparent, peaking in Kevin’s teenage years (played by Ezra Miller) when he commits murder at his high school. The film unapologetically explores the elements that haunt Eva after the horrific event.
Radiohead’s Johnny Greenwood provides the musical backdrop, continuing the growing trend of musicians-gone-movie-score-composers.
