This cinematic masterpiece sees Tilda Swinton give a truly breathtaking performance as a mother torn apart by the conflicting emotions she feels for her son and his irredeemable actions.

Based on the best-selling novel by Lionel Shriver about a couple and the psychological torture they endure with the arrival of their dysfunctional son, Kevin, British director Lynne Ramsay creates an intriguing, complex and slowly devastating masterpiece. Alternating between a present loaded with guilt and a past full of frustration, Ramsay slowly unfolds the truth about what Kevin has done and, with it, spins a cinematic vision of contemporary hell around Swinton’s mesmerising performance.
