Description

We spend our lives deciding who is to blame. This is a film about what that costs. We Need to Talk About Kevin is an incredible film, remembered as the story of a mother who raised a monster. But the more you look at what we actually know about why children kill, the clearer it becomes that the film isn't really asking whether Eva was guilty. It's asking why we NEED someone to be. This is the second episode in a loose trilogy about the stories societies tell themselves in order to explain their killers. Over twenty years of research has been conducted, looking into school shootings. This video asks, who really is to blame? #WeNeedToTalkAboutKevin #LynneRamsay #TildaSwinton #FilmAnalysis #VideoEssay #CultCinema #LionelShriver #Moviedrome #FilmEssay #TrueCrime #EzraMiller
