We Need To Talk About Kevin - Representation of Parenthood

Where does the responsibility lie?

The main point to question in We Need To Talk About Kevin is whether the result of Kevin is because he was naturally a born sociopath or whether it was result of bad parenthood from the mother Eva, played by Tilda Swinton. I think this is what the film is trying to get across in the film as they mainly focus on the relationship the mother and son, this is because they want to show the struggle that Eva has to go through. The father, played by John C. Reilly, doesn't seem to get blamed for the outcome of Kevin because throughout his son's childhood he seemed ignorant of Kevin's chilling actions that results in a mutual hate with Eva, the mother.
