Movies Watched -- Morvern Callar (2001)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

97 minute running time … a Lynne Ramsay movie desperately in need of subtitles … I didn’t understand a word so I had to fast forward through all of it… this was on the BFI list so I saw it … the lead actress Samantha Morton reminds me of Emily Watson (Breaking the Waves) … kind of a strange story, I don’t know what the audience is supposed to make of it? I’ve seen Ratcatcher (depressing), and I still think You Were Never Really Here is Ramsay’s best movie ever.

Morvern Callar has no inner world that's penetrable, intelligible or even credible … She leaves us totally baffled about her motives, emotions and mental state.” — Alexander Walker .. it’s true, you do wonder about her…

“…rare is the movie that convincingly presents the interior life of a cracked mind.” — Michael Agger
