    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Morvern Callar was the debut novel by Scottish author Alan Warner, first published in 1995.
    • Goofs
      The shot of the railway station at the end of the film shows tracks with a third live rail. Although never mentioned by name, Morvern lives in Oban, where the railway station is served only by diesel-powered trains - in fact, no railway lines in Scotland use a third live rail as a power source.

      Morvern Callar: Fuck work Lana, we can go anywhere you like.

      Lanna: I'm happy here.

      Morvern Callar: Are ya?

      Lanna: Yeah, everyone I know is here. There's nothing wrong with here. It's the same crapness everywhere, so stop dreaming.

    Samantha, you have such lovely eyes!
    Morvern Callar stars one of my current favorite actress, Samantha Morton. It's pretty good.

    The pacing is very deliberate and unhurried, but not exactly slow. The director, Lynne Ramsay, takes her time but it is to show you exactly what she wants to show, revealing these incredible creations of images, sound, and music. Visually, it's like looking at art. And that is my one small criticism, sometimes it's so much art in terms of photography or painting and not enough art in terms of filmmaking/storytelling. But it's a small criticism.

    Samantha Morton has a really beautiful expressive face and eyes. And she lends a soulfulness and profundity to her role and the movie. She's a little chubby so I half wondered what the movie would be like with a cute Japanese school girl (ala Harmful Insect or All About Lily Chou Chou). Maybe for Samantha's best friend, except that girl was pretty cute already. Still, whatever I like about Morvern Callar is due to Samantha's presence and performance. You can just sense she's going to do something that will amaze you.
