The title says it all really Tilda Swindon plays Eva Kevin's mother. She's a struggling new mum, who finds it very difficult to bond with her son. When she notices his strange behaviour at and early stage in his life, she tries talking to her husband who is zero help. The husband gives into Kevin, never wants to hear his wife speak about his precious son in such a way. The husband enables everything, never seems to do much with his son or daughter. Women need their husband's support through raising their children which they created together!
