We Need to Talk About Kevin on BFI Player

Brand new content on the BFI Player includes the latest and best in international cinema, including the critically-acclaimed We Need to Talk About Kevin.

Already a huge success following its launch in October 2013, the BFI Player comes even further into its own in March with the arrival of a typically diverse and irresistible array of content, including WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN, the chilling psychological thriller from Lynne Ramsay, available to stream for just £3.50.

Based on Lionel Schriver’s best-selling novel, and starring Tilda Swinton (Burn After Reading, Only Lovers Left Alive) and Ezra Miller (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN explores the fractious relationship between a mother and son, whilst offering an unnerving take on the nature vs. nurture debate.

Tilda Swinton gives a BAFTA-nominated performance as Eva, a mother desperately contending with the increasing malevolence of her child, Kevin (Ezra Miller) while her husband remains oblivious. As Kevin’s behaviour grows more vindictive, building towards an ultimate act of innate evil, Eva is forced to assess her culpability for his actions.

Released to widespread critical acclaim, and featuring captivating performances from Swinton and Miller, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN remains one of the most uncompromising and thought-provoking psychological studies of parenthood in recent years.

From March, The BFI Player features a host of great new content alongside Ramsay’s contemporary thriller, all of which can be streamed from your computer, iPad, tablet or phone.
