Children are an unfinished debt, and parents are an inescapable catastrophe.

Eva is not an irresponsible mother, but she became a mother when she was not ready, and her doubts and contradictions became the eternal shadow of sensitive Kevin, which turned into doubts and contradictions about his own existence; and what Kevin did For not only to prove his presence, in the habit of accumulating over time, he can only arouse her attention and concern by torturing and hurting Eva.

The film's three or more narrative lines outline a heartbreaking story, with irregular cuts, endless use of red, deliberate close-ups of facial features, and detail points before responding.

    For me, who emphasizes cause and effect, this movie is torture. There is no trace of the perverted behavior of the male protagonist. However, this kind of random action in life without any motivation is really scary. Maybe the hero is out of touch with reality, as he said, nothing makes sense. For example, you don't need to watch TV shows because the people on TV are actually watching you act.

We Need to Talk About Kevin quotes

  • Kevin: It's like this: you wake and watch TV, get in your car and listen to the radio you go to your little jobs or little school, but you don't hear about that on the 6 o'clock news, why? 'Cause nothing is really happening, and you go home and watch some more TV and maybe it's a fun night and you go out and watch a movie. I mean it's got so bad that half the people on TV, inside the TV, they're watching TV. What are these people watching, people like me?

  • Eva: Why would you have something like that?

    Kevin: I collect them.

    Eva: Doesn't it a weird thing to collect?

    Kevin: I don't like stamps.

    Eva: Then what's the point?

    Kevin: There is no point. That's the point.
