Critic Reviews

Ramsay reaches out boldly with a film that is as unsettling as it is minimalist.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

As Morvern, Morton is disconcertingly enigmatic, often bordering on catatonic. But she carries the movie effortlessly. And even though we're on the outside looking in, she carries us along, too.Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

(Morton's) character here is emotionally mute -- though Morvern speaks, she can't or won't reveal what's in her heart -- and her performance is brilliant from start to finish.Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

I think the answer is right there in the film, but less visible to American viewers because we are less class-conscious than the filmmakers.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

A gossamer tale about a heavy subject -- a passive creature who slowly emerges as the active author of her own life.Full Review
