93 minute running time so the right length … I loved “You Were Never Really Here” so much that I had to see Lynne Ramsay’s earlier work, and there are a lot of things in Ratcatcher that re-appear in YWNRH including the interesting sound design … and certain images that she thinks are powerful — shrouds and drowning, etc. (she started off doing still photography). Another story about down and outers in Scotland … reminded me of “Kes” (one of the greatest movies ever made), but I can’t recommend this one … it isn’t bad, far from bad, but it’s just grim, and redundant given all the other bleak movies northern England and Scotland. Didn’t realize John Farr recommended it … see it if you can handle some serious misery.
