"...MORVERN CALLAR is eye-absorbing....[Morton's] performance here is spot-on, managing to give just enough hints as to what makes Morvern tick..." Total Film "...MORVERN CALLAR confirms Lynne Ramsay as an important, original talent in international cinema..." Los Angeles Times "...Blithely powerful....The wonderfully lush MORVERN CALLAR is pure punk existentialism..." New York Times "...A mesmerizingly cinematic poem from the first frame to the last..." Premiere "...The director, Lynne Ramsey, works in the tony austere style of Catherine Breillat and Claire Denis. She creates a mood of swank amorality....[With] a great soundtrack..." Entertainment Weekly "...Samantha Morton is so good you'll follow her anywhere....Ramsay and Morton fill this character study with poetic force and buoyant feeling..." Rolling Stone77.84928

"...A gorgeous blend of beauty and squalor, packed with imagery that will play over and over in your head for weeks....The most lovely debut in a long time." New York Times "...Spare and harrowing..." Box Office "...RATCATCHER is clearly the work of a natural film artist, and experiencing her debut is as much a privilege as it is a pleasure..." Los Angeles Times "...Ramsay creates a searing portrait of a boy in a spiritual trap. Pay particular attention to Rachel Portman's spare music score that in counterpoint offsets Ramsay's imagery with a presence that does not simply massage our mood..." Chicago Sun-Times "...The cast is packed with first-timers, who give wonderful, skinless performances..." Total Film77.01062
