Oscilloscope Laboratories have acquired North American distribution rights to We Need to Talk About Kevin, Deadline are reporting.
Directed by Lynne Ramsay (Ratcatcher), We Need to Talk About Kevin stars Tilda Swinton (I Am Love), John C. Reilly (Cyrus) and Ezra Miller (City Island).
The mother of a teenage boy who went on a high-school killing spree tries to deal with her grief – and feelings of responsibility for her child’s actions – by writing to her estranged husband.
We Need to Talk About Kevin premiered to rave reviews at the 64th annual Cannes Film Festival, and marks the return of acclaimed Scottish filmmaker Ramsay following a nine year career hiatus.
Oscilloscope will release the film this winter, in perfect time for the new awards season.
