London Film Festival gives top award to 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'

'We Need to Talk About Kevin' has won the Best Film accolade at the BFI London Film Festival awards ceremony.

The movie - which stars Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly - beat off competition from eight other nominees at the showcase in London last night including 'Faust' and 'The Descendants' - and chair of the judging panel John Madden said the jury were "bowled over" by the motion picture.
