The film is adapted from the novel of the same name written by Lionel Sirif in 2003. In 2005, the BBC bought the copyright to the novel, and Christine Langan and others began preparations. The film director Lynn Ramsey took over the film after finishing the adaptation of the film "Lovely Bones". However, the author himself was dissatisfied with the adaptation of the script and denied the original creative team. In 2008, the addition of producer Jennifer Fox made the production of the film officially on track. But the investor cancelled the investment, and the BBC was unable to raise the original budget of 12 million US dollars. Faced with a budget of 7 million U.S. dollars, director Lynn Ramsey decided to reimagine the entire screenplay. In response to the anti-social personality problem in the film, Ramsey spent a lot of time with child psychologists who specialize in abnormal behavior. Regarding the inherent evil of human nature, she believes that there are many problems and viewpoints in that field worthy of continuing to explore. Finally, she started with the anti-social personality "devil son", deeply digs into Kevin’s complex psychology and twisted mother-child relationship, and made the film into A family thriller.

If it weren't for Tilda Swinton, how abrupt the lute's soundtrack would have been, and how ugly the film would have died. It was she who rationalized everyone with "love".

Totally Tilda Swinton's one-man show. But does this really fall into the category of social science discussions? Some people are inherently evil.
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.
