What happens when bad children happen to good parents? Does it mean they are not, in fact, as good as they had imagined themselves to be?
With these questions, British director Lynne Ramsay has created a nihilist tale of guilt and horror. Working with co-writer Rory Kinnear, she has adapted Lionel Shriver’s prizewinning 2003 novel, We Need to Talk about Kevin, about a woman whose teenage son has committed a Columbine-style massacre.
The M&G has five copies of the novel, as well as five double movie tickets, to give away.
