I'm telling you right now, if you haven't seen this movie, don't. If you do, be prepared. While the movie is just a movie, it is by far, one that was very painful to see. Ryan and I watched "We Need To Talk About Kevin" a week before the recent shootings in Colorado, and boy did it hit close to home when we saw the news unfolding before our eyes.
The movie is mostly about a young teenager named Kevin, and his mother, Eva, played by Tilda Swinton. It tells the story through the eyes of Eva, who deals with an event that happened in the past, but recent enough to where Kevin is about to turn 18. This particular event is so tragic that it will leave you speechless at the end of the movie. But what was so sad about this whole scenario being played out before our eyes, was knowing that these things truly do happen.
Ever since this boy, Kevin was born Eva knew something wasn't right, but no one cared to listen, especially her husband. And as the boy grew up, the more disturbing the situation became. This was a very powerful movie indeed.

Very sad indeed, but it does shine a light on what these poor mothers must feel like, especially knowing what their kids have done.
