While We Need to Talk About Kevin only got buzz at the Golden Globes from Tilda Swinton's performance, the BAFTA's had much more love for the film about the mother of a teenage boy who went on a high-school killing spree who tries to deal with her grief and feelings of responsibility for her child's actions. We've already seen a couple trailers and one Rosemary's Baby inspired poster, but this one really amps things up, and even though I haven't seen the film, I've heard that it's quite misleading, if only because the film really isn't about the spawn of the devil like the aforementioned classic. See the new poster below!

Here's the new poster for Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin (via AICN):

A suspenseful and psychologically gripping exploration into a parent (Tilda Swinton) dealing with her child doing the unthinkable. The mother of a teenage boy (Ezra Miller) who went on a high school killing spree, tries to cope with her overwhelming grief and the feelings of responsibility for her child's actions.

We Need to Talk About Kevin is the third film by BAFTA nominated Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, of the features Ratcatcher and Morvern Callar previously. The screenplay was co-written by Lynne Ramsay and Rory Kinnear, adapted from Lionel Shriver's 2003 novel of the same name. Oscilloscope Labs has the film in limited theaters right now.
